Baby injured by e-scooter riders with fire extinguisher

A five-month-old baby was injured after offenders discharged a fire extinguisher at a car on the Sunshine Coast on Sunday 15 June.

Initial information indicates that around 7.50pm, a Silver Suzuki Vitara was driving along High Street, near Sippy Downs Drive, before two unknown offenders have approached the vehicle on e-scooters.

The two offenders have ridden up beside the Suzuki and discharged a fire extinguisher into the vehicle before fleeing.

The occupants of the vehicle, the 29-year-old male driver and five-month-old child passenger sustained minor injuries as a result of the discharge.

The fire extinguisher believed to be the one used in the incident was found nearby on Stringybark Road, Sippy Downs.

Investigators are appealing to residents and business in the area between 7.30pm and 8.20pm whom may have relevant information, CCTV or dashcam vision to contact police.
