A teenage boy has been injured after a bus window was smashed while it was travelling through Dundee.
The vehicle was hit at about 6.25pm on Sunday in the city's Lothian Crescent and the incident resulted in a 16-year-old boy being left with a minor leg injury.
Police Scotland said officers are trying to trace five males aged between 11 and 20 who were all seen in the area at the time.
The force appealed for information and said the group were wearing dark clothing.
A police statement said: "The implications of throwing any type of missile at a moving vehicle can be very serious indeed, not least when it is public transport carrying passengers.
"The implications for anyone within that vehicle, anyone nearby for that matter, could be catastrophic.
"On this occasion a young man received a minor leg injury, but the consequences could have been far, far worse.
"Those who get involved in this reckless behaviour may view it as a bit of harmless fun but they should consider the potential consequences of their actions. They have the potential to threaten lives."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
