Two people were hospitalised after a concrete slab was thrown onto a moving taxi on a Glenrothes flyover.
A man and a woman, both 37-years-old, were taken to Glenrothes Hospital for treatment after the projectile was launched from a bridge over the B921 heading towards Kinglassie around 12.30am on Sunday, 6 August.
It's the third such incident to take place at the location, with two cars previously damaged when wheelie bins were thrown from the overpass.
There were no injuries on those occasions, with the first incident taking place around 1am on Sunday, 16 July, and the second around 3.55am on Wednesday, 19 July.

Inspector Kirk Donnelly, of Glenrothes Police Station said: “Two people have suffered injuries as a result of these reckless actions and there could easily have been far more serious consequences.
“I would therefore appeal to anyone who witnessed any of the incidents or has any information that might assist with our enquiries to contact us on 101, quoting reference 0108 of 6 August, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
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
