North West Leeds police are appealing for information after a brick was thrown at a bus travelling through Armley last night.
At about 8.30pm a double decker First bus was travelling along Armley Road towards the city when one of a group of about 15 youths threw a brick from a footbridge, which is near to the prison in Gloucester Terrace.
The brick smashed into the glass-fronted destination matrix on the front of the bus causing considerable damage.
Sergeant Joe Westerman said: "We are treating this incident very seriously. The brick could have very easily gone through the windscreen or upstairs windows and seriously injured the driver or passengers. Thankfully no-one was hurt although the occupants of the bus were left very shaken and upset. We would urge anyone who saw the youths in the area or who knows who is responsible to get in touch."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the West Inner Neighourhood Policing Team on 0113 241 4888 or via 0845 6060606 or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously and in confidence, on 0800 555 111.
