A teenager has been caught on surveillance video in Philadelphia throwing a whiskey bottle at a passing van, shattering a window and hitting a 10-year-old boy in the head.

The video shows the teen and other boys running away after the bottle crashes through the van's front passenger window.

'This street is not safe, especially at night time,' the unidentified victim's father told WTXF-TV.

He threw the bottle behind his back and it shattered the passenger's window, hitting a 10-year-old boy

Police say the 10-year-old suffered a scrape from the impact of the Jack Daniels bottle and cuts from the broken glass.

'That child had an abrasion—significant abrasion on the right side of his head—and cuts as a result of the glass shattering,' Northwest Detectives Captain Malachi Jones said.

The boy was with his mother on the way to the park when the teen is seen throwing the bottle behind his back and through the window.

Instead of making it to the park, the mother took her son to the hospital where he was treated.

Investigators say one of the other boys was seen throwing something at a car before the incident.

Police are now searching for the teens and asking for the public's help to identify them.

'We believe that anybody who knows these individuals would be able to identify them whether family members, friends, neighbors,' Captain Jones said.
