This is the dramatic moment a brick thrown by yobs shattered a bus window just inches away from a nine-month-old baby sleeping in a pram.
Police said the horrifying incident in Sheldon, Birmingham - which happened in broad daylight - could have been 'a lot worse' and are appealing for witnesses.
The mother can be seen obliviously sitting on the bus with no idea of the imminent danger facing her child in video of the incident released by police.
Suddenly the yobs throw a stone at the window smashing it to pieces - but fortunately it does not shatter meaning the infant is protected from falling glass.
The horrified woman quickly rushes to protect the baby with the help of other shocked passengers.
It took place on the X1 bus on the Coventry road in Sheldon between 3.35pm and 3.45pm on Sunday 29th January this year.
PC Shaun Hickinbottom of West Midlands Police said: 'Although no one was hurt, a nine-month-old baby narrowly escaped injury and it is clear that this incident could have been a lot worse.
'We are currently appealing for anyone who recognises these three people to get in touch.'
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Shaun Hickinbottom on 101 extension 803 6275 or s.hickinbottom@west-midlands.pnn.police.uk and quote crime reference number 20BE/20478D/17.
