Major development after baby girl injured in fire extinguisher prank that sent shockwaves around Australia
Two teenage boys have been charged after they allegedly sprayed a fire extinguisher into a car carrying a five-month-old baby and her father in Queensland. Aussie dad Leon and his baby, Pixie, were stopped at a red light in Sippy Downs on the Sunshine Coast, when the teens allegedly rode up on an e-bike and sprayed the fire extinguisher through the car's back window at 7.50pm on June 15. On Saturday, police announced that two teens from Buderim had been arrested over the incident. A 15-year-old boy was charged with 13 offences, including two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. A 14-year-old boy was also charged with six offences, including two counts of wilful damage and assault occasioning bodily harm. Police will allege they had stolen the fire extinguisher from a nearby carpark on Courage Street earlier that night. Pixie was rushed to hospital where she had to have 100ml of saline solution put in her eyes to clean off the chemical powder. 'It was the most horrible scream I've ever heard in my life,' her mother, Tiffani Teasdale told 9News. 'I actually had to leave and one of the nurses had to come in and hold her down for me. She was covered in red rashes. Her eyes were pretty bloodshot. 'She was a little bit wheezy.' Pixie was discharged from hospital early on Monday with her mother urged to continue monitoring her symptoms. The fire extinguisher left a thick coat of chemical powder over the car's interior and destroyed Pixie's pram, toys and nappy bag. Footage shared to social media, which appeared to be shot from the balcony of a unit, showed two figures speeding along a Sunshine Coast street on Sunday night. One appeared to be facing forward steering the e-bike while the second was letting off a thick trail of gas behind them, which appears to be from a fire extinguisher. Ms Teasdale previously issued a furious message to the two alleged offenders. 'Just grow up,' she said. 'Take accountability for your actions. Hand yourself in. Stop terrorising the neighborhood.'

E-bike riders charged over Sunshine Coast fire extinguisher incident
Two teenagers have been charged over an incident that left a baby in hospital when a fire extinguisher was allegedly sprayed through a car window on the Sunshine Coast. Police have charged the boys from Buderim, aged 14 and 15, with a long list of offences, including wilful damage and assault occasioning bodily harm. The pair who were riding an e-bike are accused of letting off a fire extinguisher into the open back window of Tiffani Teasdale's car while she was stopped at traffic lights at Sippy Downs last weekend. Her five-month-old daughter, Pixie, was in the back seat and had to have her eyes cleaned by doctors with saline solution. The residue left a thick film blanketing the car's interior, destroying the baby's pram, toys and nappy bag. Police allege the fire extinguisher was stolen from a nearby car park earlier that night. Earlier this week, investigators released security footage of the duo and launched a public appeal to identify them. The boys will be dealt with under the Youth Justice Act and will not be required to appear in the Queensland Children's Court.

Two boys charged for allegedly discharging fire extinguisher into car with mum and baby inside on Sunshine Coast road
Two teenagers have been charged with close to two dozen offences after a five-month-old baby was injured by a fire extinguisher in Queensland last weekend. Mother Tiffani Teasdale was stopped at traffic lights on High Street in the Sunshine Coast suburb of Sippy Downs on Sunday about 7.50pm when an e-bike pulled up. She alleged one of the two riders then sprayed a fire extinguisher into the back window of her car, where her baby Pixie was seated, and then fled the scene. "The car just filled up with gas and white powder straight away. (Pixie) was completely covered in white powder and just looked like she was in shock," Ms Teasdale said. Pixie was taken to hospital where she spent the night. Doctors had to use saline solution to clean the baby's eyes. "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," Ms Teasdale said. The mother a day after the incident said her five-month-old was "quite red in the face" and that her eyes were "swollen" but she was going to be "fine". Police released vision from a car park of two boys on a bike to track them down. After going on the run for days, the teens were tracked down. Queensland Police said it charged a 15-year-old boy with 13 offences, including three counts each of wilful damage and two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. A 14-year-old boy was charged with six offences, including two counts each of wilful damage and assault occasioning bodily harm. It will also be alleged the fire extinguisher used in the attack had been stolen from a car park on Courage Street hours before it was used against the mother and baby. Both the boys are locals from Buderim. The teens will be dealt with under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act.
