The object was thrown “full force” at the windscreen of a passing car.
A six-year-old child was left “covered” in shattered glass after a “brick” was thrown from a bridge in Glasgow. A motorist was forced to slam on the brakes after the object smashed into their windscreen while travelling along Springburn Road.
Emergency services were called to the scene at around 7.50pm last night after the driver managed to pull over safely. No injuries were reported following the incident but police are now investigating, reports Glasgow Live.
The No1seems2care Facebook page shared images of the “extremely dangerous” incident. In a post, they said: “Imagine driving a car with a 6-year-old child on board and youths throw a brick full force at your windscreen from the bridge at Springburn.
“The child was covered with fragments of glass and absolutely terrified. Not only could this have seriously injured or killed the child, the sudden impact and shock could have caused the driver to lose control and crash the vehicle into other vehicles.
“This was an extremely dangerous thing to do! This isn’t the first time this has happened at the bridge at Springburn and the bridges on the M8 near the Royston area.
“This has to stop before people get seriously injured or killed. This could happen to you or your loved ones. Please talk to your children about this. Thank you.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson confirmed they are investigating the incident.
The spokesperson said: “Around 7.50pm on Thursday, April 9, we received a report of a windscreen being damaged from an item thrown from an overbridge on Springburn Road, Glasgow.
“There were no reported injuries and enquiries are ongoing.”
