A four-month-old baby has been left covered in glass and "blinking blood" after a rock was randomly thrown through her bedroom window.
Mother April Stanley said she was woken by the cries of her baby Satuala at around midnight in the home in the Gold Coast suburb of Worongary in Australia.
"I jumped up and got her straight up out of the cot and she was just covered in glass", the horrified mum told Channel Seven News.
Pictures showed large boulder-style rocks in the cot.
April continued: "She was just covered in blood, it was dripping. I couldn't tell where it was coming from. Her eyes weren't closed. Every time she blinked, blood would come out."
Baby Satuala was quickly rushed to hospital by her panicked mother, where for emergency doctors treated the bruises and cuts to her forehead and eyes.
The traumatised family is now sleeping together in the living room as they are terrified of a repeat attack and April is incredulous someone would do that.
She said: "I am just not confident staying here knowing that somebody is out there and nothing has been done."
Police are taking DNA samples from the rock in hopes of catching the criminal and they have appealed for anyone who might have information that will help them catch the criminal.
In a radio interview earlier this month, Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll admitted her officers were battling a relentless youth crime wave.
"Our greatest challenge is this really tough group of young people, that 10 per cent that are committing around 48 per cent of the crime", she said on Brisbane's 4BC station.
She continued: "That's about 400 youth across the state, we know these people, we interact with these people all the time.
"They have been the ones that have been relentlessly offending. She says it was an extraordinarily complex situation."
