Medics taking a child to hospital in an ambulance were covered in broken glass when vandals shattered a window in Salford.

North West Ambulance Service condemned the "mindless act of vandalism against our staff" after the door window was attacked on 8 May.

A medical technician and the child's nurse were covered with glass after something was thrown at the window.

A service spokesman said no one was hurt and it was working with police.

Nobody was hurt, said North West Ambulance Service.

A spokesman said: "It is really sad that we have to once again report a mindless act of vandalism against our staff.

"What may seem like a prank can have serious implications - it can endanger our staff and patients."
