She wants to warn others about the dangers of throwing bricks and objects at cars and encouraged anyone with dashcam footage of the incident to get in touch with Mandurah Police.

This is the second attack on a car this year.

In April, an elderly Dawesville man had a hammer thrown through his window on the way home from work.

WA Police has asked anyone who may have information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online.
