Baby attacked with fire extinguisher
A baby has been injured by an e-bike rider spraying a fire extinguisher into a car. Her parents took the five-month-old to hospital, where doctors flushed the baby's eyes. The mother described the baby being treated and crying as 'horrific'. The incident happened in the Sunshine Coast area of Sippy Downs on Sunday night. Police have secured a fire extinguisher, which was ditched nearby. Tiffani Teasdale, the mother of injured baby Pixie, told the ABC that as the family's car was stopped at traffic lights, two people on one e-bike pulled up next to the car. The pair sprayed a fire extinguisher into the vehicle. Pixie had to have her eyes flushed clean in hospital. Supplied Credit: NewsWire Items belonging to the family inside the car have been ruined. Supplied Credit: NewsWire 'The car just filled up with gas and white powder straight away,' Ms Teasdale told the ABC. '(Pixie) was completely covered in white powder and just looked like she was in shock, she wasn't even crying. 'We were in hospital until very early morning and they had to put 100ml of saline solution into her eyes. 'I've never heard her scream like that before, I actually had to leave the room. 'The doctors had to hold her down for me because it was the most horrible thing I've ever heard … no one should have to go through that.' Police want anyone who was in the area of High St, near Sippy Downs Drive, between 7.30pm and 8.20pm on Sunday to come forward. Police say a fire extinguisher was found after the attack, ditched on a nearby street. Supplied Credit: NewsWire In a statement, police say a 29-year-old male and the baby were in a silver Suzuki Vitara on High St at 7.50pm. 'The two offenders have ridden up beside the Suzuki and discharged a fire extinguisher into the vehicle before fleeing,' a police spokesperson said. 'The fire extinguisher believed to be the one used in the incident was located nearby on Stringybark Rd, Sippy Downs.' Taking to an online community page, Ms Teasedale said: 'I hope whoever has done this sees this posts and realises there will be consequences for your actions. 'A five-second dopamine rush is not worth someone's life. I could only imagine if this had been someone with respiratory issues.' A local car detailing business has offered to clean the family's vehicle, while the baby's pram, nappy bag and toys have been ruined.
