Carjackers toss baby girl from car.

Bill Bryson once said that capital punishment is only justified when someone uses two spots to park their car. I'd add this offense to the list.

From News.com.au:

A FOUR-MONTH-OLD baby girl is recovering after being tossed from a stolen car in the US city of Phoenix, Foxnews reports.

The baby was in a car with her mother when two armed men allegedly fired a gun at one of the windows, spraying glass all over the infant, police said.

After forcing the mother out of the car, one of the men allegedly jumped in and fled with the baby girl still strapped in her car seat, said Sergeant Andy Hill, a Phoenix police spokesman. The other man escaped in another car.

As the man drove off, witnesses allegedly yelled that a child was in the back seat.

Witnesses said the man stopped and flung the baby girl onto the pavement, Foxnews reports.

The child, who was still in the car seat, received only minor injuries, Sgt Hill said.

The two men were arrested a short time later after a police chase through the city.
