The family were not physically hurt, but one of the passengers in the rear of the car is believed to have filmed the incident on his mobile phone A police spokesman said the men laughed and drove off towards the exit.

Detective Constable Christopher Tiffin said: “This behaviour is utterly unacceptable and we want anyone who was in the area at the time to help us catch these offenders.”

The car is believed to be a Peugeot and may be around ten years old.
