The 15-year-old's mother, Charmaine Cornwall, found out her son had been hit on the head and was bleeding badly.

"I was still driving home from work when it happened. I felt sick as I couldn't get to him and I felt worried it might be an attack," she said.

"He had three lacerations to the side of his head which required cleaning and gluing."

"My concern is it will make him feel unsafe in the future. It has certainly made me reluctant to allow him out now."

The glass bottle was thrown by an unseen perpetrator.
