A Scots father has been left “shaken” after he and his 16-year-old daughter were sprayed with “shards of glass” when yobs launched a brick at his car from a bridge 30ft above.Ross Napier and his daughter Isla had planned to go shopping on Thursday, December 12, at Faraday Retail Park, Coatbridge when a brick came hurtling towards his front windscreen at around 5pm from a disused railway bridge.

The 46-year-old was only driving 10mph at the time. He believes that if he was driving any faster, then it could have potentially been fatal.The Chapelhall dad said: “Just as soon as we came off the main roundabout to enter the park at 10mph, there was an almighty smash and the two of us were sprayed with shards of glass.

It took me a wee second to work out what had happened. I pulled over to the side and saw the big hole in the windscreen. Witnesses said they saw people on the old and disused railway bridge above us, but they had run away.“I phoned the police.

While I was on the call, another driver came up to me and said that they had left three big dents in his van because of them as well.“The brick came down about 30ft.
