Southampton Town police asked the public's help identifying a suspect who threw a piece of brick or concrete at the windshield of a passing car on Lake Avenue, in Riverside, injuring a front-seat passenger in the damaged vehicle.
Southampton detectives said the act of reckless endangerment took place as a 2011 Toyota Camry was headed north on Lake Avenue, with a female passenger in the front seat. As a second vehicle, identified as an older green or black sport utility vehicle, approached from the opposite direction, a passenger leaned out of an open window and threw the object at the Camry.
The suspect who threw the brick or concrete was described as a young man with short blond hair.
"The item struck the windshield on the passenger's side of the vehicle, causing the glass to shatter," a Suffolk County Crime Stoppers report said. A female passenger sitting in the Camry's front seat, was injured by the shattered glass and was taken by ambulance for treatment at Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead.
