Footage shows four men fleeing the scene after a woman said she was "nearly killed."
Sarah Woodward was watching television with her partner in her home in Wallasey on the evening of April 5. The 32-year-old's night took a turn when when her house was battered with bricks, shattering almost every window of the property - but she claims it could have been much worse.
Sarah, who is a care worker, was moments away from getting in the bath when the barrage of bricks came threw her windows, which she said 'would have killed her' if she was in the bath. She told the ECHO: "I had come home from work and had just run a bath - I was about to get in. But then I had to ring the police, my living room window was put through, bedroom window was put through and so was the bathroom window.

"The one that went through the bathroom window was actually thrown so hard it smashed the tiles underneath my sink. I was about to get in the bath - if I had been in the bath when that happened the brick would have hit me and it could have killed me."
Merseyside Police say four men dressed in black reportedly fled the scene in the direction of Edinburgh Road. CCTV footage shared with the ECHO shows four men running down the road close to the scene.
A Merseyside Police spokesperson said: "We are appealing for information following criminal damage to a property in Wirral on Tuesday 5 April. At around 11.30pm it was reported that bricks were thrown at windows of a house on Seaview Avenue in Wallasey. Both occupants reported that they received minor injuries to their hand and foot."
It was reported that four males made off towards Seaview Road and on to Edinburgh Road. An investigation is underway with forensic, CCTV and witness enquiries are ongoing.
Officers are appealing for witnesses and for people to check their CCTV and dashcam footage from the area including Seaview Road and Edinburgh Road at the time, to please get in touch.
Detective Inspector Emma Kerrigan said: “Understandably the occupants are very shaken by the ordeal. Thankfully there were no serious injuries which could have been catastrophic.
“I would urge people who were in the vicinity who saw any suspicious activity, or have CCTV and dashcam footage which captured four males running off, to please get in touch.”
