DETROIT – A shocking video that was posted to Facebook shows a man firing a paintball gun at road workers with a young child in the back seat of his car.

The attack happened in the area of I-75 and Outer Drive on Detroit's west side. It was streamed on Facebook Live.

The 22-year-old man accused of shooting a paintball gun in the video wanted as many people as possible to see it, according to police. Police said the video shows him firing paintballs at road workers on Outer Drive in Detroit.

You can watch segments of the Facebook Live post in Shawn Ley's video posted above.

When he broadcast the event to Facebook Live, it caught the attention of Detroit police officers.

Anyone who looks closely at the video can see a baby girl riding in the back seat. Both men in the car bragged about the paintball shooting and the driver's marijuana. The driver was behind the wheel with the baby girl in the back seat.

In the video, the men said they were on Outer Drive. They had a warning for road crews.

"Out here on Outer, be careful if you're taking too long," one of the men said.

Local 4 showed the video to a crew in the heat resurfacing a road, and they were not amused.

"That's not -- not good at all," a road worker said. "It's very dangerous for us as well."

Detroit police said Crime Intelligence Bureau officials looked at the video, identified the paintball shooter, found out he had outstanding warrants for traffic incidents and arrested him.

The man is not facing charges for the paintball shooting because Detroit police said the road crew never called 911 or made a complaint, so there's no victim in the case.
