Teenage e-bike riders' prank goes horrifically wrong leaving baby in hospital - as her mother hits out
A five-month-old baby girl was rushed to hospital with thick, white powder covering her eyes after an e-bike rider sprayed her with a fire extinguisher. Tiffani Teasdale was driving with her five-month-old baby, Pixie, on High Street in Sippy Downs, on Queensland 's Sunshine Coast, when they stopped at a traffic light about 7.45pm on Sunday. As they waited, two teenagers on e-bikes pulled up next to their car, stuck a fire extinguisher through its rear window and set it off before quickly riding away. 'The car just filled up with gas and white powder straight away,' Ms Teasdale told ABC News. '[Pixie] was completely covered in white powder and just looked like she was in shock, she wasn't even crying.' The horrified mother rushed to hospital where Pixie had to have 100ml of saline solution put in her eyes to clean off the chemical powder. 'The doctors had to hold her down for me because it was the most horrible thing I've ever heard ... no one should have to go through that,' Ms Teasdale said. Pixie was discharged from hospital early Monday morning with her mother urged to continue monitoring her symptoms. The shocked mother described the attack on a local community group. She said while she was 'all for young having fun', the prank went too far and could have caused Pixie's eyes severe and maybe permanent damage. She said the child's face remained red, her eyes were swollen and her breathing was 'wheezy' once she left hospital. 'I hope whoever has done this sees this posts and realises there will be consequences for your actions,' she wrote online. 'A five-second dopamine rush is not worth someone's life. 'I could only imagine If this had been someone with respiratory issues. Do better.' She was later alerted of a fire extinguisher discovered down the road from where she and her daughter were sprayed, which she will take to police. The fire extinguisher left a thick coat of chemical powder all over the family car's interior and destroyed Pixie's pram, toys and nappy bag. A local car detailing business, Grime Busters, has since offered to clean the damage for free. Queensland Police said it is aware of the incident and investigating.

Baby injured after e-bike rider sprays fire extinguisher inside car
Queensland police are investigating after a young baby was injured when a person sprayed a fire extinguisher inside a car on the Sunshine Coast. Tiffani Teasdale's five-month-old daughter Pixie was in the back seat as their car waited at traffic lights on High Street in Sippy Downs about 7.45pm on Sunday. Ms Teasdale said an e-bike pulled up next to the car and the rider sprayed a fire extinguisher inside the vehicle through the window, before riding away. "The car just filled up with gas and white powder straight away," Ms Teasdale said. "[Pixie] was completely covered in white powder and just looked like she was in shock, she wasn't even crying. "We were in hospital until very early morning and they had to put 100 millilitres of saline solution into her eyes. "I've never heard her scream like that before, I actually had to leave the room. "The doctors had to hold her down for me because it was the most horrible thing I've ever heard ... no one should have to go through that." Pixie was discharged with Ms Teasdale instructed to monitor her condition. "She's quite red in the face, her eyes are still a bit swollen," Ms Teasdale said. "She's a little bit wheezy but I think she should be fine." Ms Teasdale described the attack as horrific. "I'm all for teenagers going out and having fun, but not at the expense of other people's lives," she said. The fire extinguisher spray left a thick film blanketing the car's interior, destroying the baby's pram, toys and nappy bag. A local car detailing business has offered to clean the family's vehicle for free. Ms Teasdale said someone reported a fire extinguisher abandoned on a nearby street. "We're going to take that to the police station today and hopefully they're able to get some fingerprints off it," she said. Sunshine Coast police said officers were aware of the incident and were investigating. Anyone with information was urged to contact police. The incident comes after a similar nearby attack at the weekend. Police received a report that two youths on e-scooters sprayed a fire extinguisher into an Indian restaurant about 8.30pm on Saturday. The restaurant had to remove the patrons and temporarily close the kitchen while the venue was cleaned.
