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.’
