Baby hit in fire extinguisher attack: cops
Two teenage boys have been charged after allegedly spraying a fire extinguisher into a car injuring a father and his five-month-old baby.
Police allege two boys riding an e-bike discharged a fire extinguisher into the open rear window of a Silver Suzuki Vitara at a set of traffic lights in Sippy Downs, Queensland on the evening of June 15.
The car was being driven by a 29-year-old father Leon, with his baby girl Pixie sitting in the back seat.
Both were taken to hospital where they were treated for minor injuries.
Leon's partner, Tiffani Teasdale, told 9News the car filled with smoke leaving Leon unable to see or breathe.

After the incident, Pixie was rushed to hospital, where nurses flushed the chemicals from her eyes.
Ms Teasdale said she heard her daughter scream and saw her with bloodshot eyes and covered with red rashes.
Police allege the fire extinguisher used in the incident was stolen earlier that evening from a car park on Courage Street, Sippy Downs.
A 15-year-old Buderim boy has been charged with 13 offences including three counts of wilful damage and two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.
A 14-year-old Buderim boy has been charged with six offences including two counts of wilful damage and two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.
Both teenagers will be dealt with under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act.
The incident prompted a public appeal, and police have thanked the Sunshine Coast community for their assistance.

(Nine) The female driver stopped to help, with police treating the crash as a tragic accident. It comes less than a year after another life was lost just up the road.
