POLICE are looking for a yob who hurled a brick at an ambulance windscreen.

It was thrown from a footbridge over the A174, near the Marton Country Club, on the outskirts of Middlesbrough.

It hit the driver's side of the laminated windscreen, covering ambulance driver John Lowe, an elderly patient and a nurse in glass splinters.

A spokeswoman for Teesside Hospice, which owns the ambulance, said: "The whole thing is appalling."

Witnesses or anyone who saw the incident, at 4.45pm on Wednesday, is asked to contact police on (01642) 326326
