A 29-year-old male driver, and a five-month-old baby girl, sustained minor injuries.

The fire extinguisher believed to have been used in the attack was found nearby on Stringybark Road, Sippy Downs.

Investigators are urging residents and businesses who were in the vicinity from 7:30 pm to 8:20 pm that day, and who may possess pertinent information, CCTV, or dashcam footage, to reach out to the police.
