A baby was threatened with broken glass during a vehicle hijacking in Belfast city centre.

The ‘absolutely shocking’ incident happened in Donegall Place shortly before 4am today.

Police said a delivery driver stepped out of a white Vauxhall Agila, leaving his partner and her young baby in the back.

Two men then walked up to the vehicle before one jumped into the driver’s seat and drove off.

A PSNI spokesperson said: ‘A short distance away, close to Fountain Lane, the man turned and held what the woman believed to be a broken bottle or piece of broken glass to the head of the young baby and told her to get out of the car.’

After the mum and infant left the vehicle it was driven towards City Hall and onto Chichester Street.

It was later found in Upper Stanfield Street.
