Windscreen wipers were also broken off during the incident.

One woman who lives in the road and didn't want to be named, said: "I heard a loud bang and looking out the window and saw two young men kicking cars and breaking off wing mirrors.

There was lots of banging and one had a white top on the other had a red top on.

They have smashed my elderly neighbours' windscreen, he is in his 90s and his car is his only means of transport."
