A family has been left terrified after a random act of violence.

“However, it was a very distressing incident and could have resulted in serious harm.

“We are very keen to speak to anyone who has information or was in the area at the time and has dashcam footage that could assist our inquiries.”

Police have launched a manhunt to track down the perpetrators, who fled the scene in a hatchback car.

A spokesman for Bedfordshire Police said: “Officers are appealing for information after a lit firework was thrown out of a vehicle hitting a nearby child.
