Police are on the hunt for three youths accused of throwing bricks at cars from an overpass in Melbourne.
Detectives have been told that the youths were spotted hurling bricks from a Princes Hwy overpass at Springvale, in Melbourne’s southeast at around 1am on Saturday.
They allegedly dropped the bricks through the windscreens of two cars, and damaged three others. One woman was injured and required help from paramedics to remove glass fragments from her eyes.
Police also allege debris from the bricks caused puncture tyres on other vehicles.
“This incident clearly demonstrates that such actions have serious and potentially fatal consequences,” Detective Senior Constable Simon Jacobs said.
“We are extremely fortunate that only one person sustained minor injuries, as the outcome could have been far worse.
“I strongly urge those responsible to come forward, take responsibility for their actions, and show some compassion for the person who was injured”.
No arrests have yet been made, but detectives are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
