The woman suffered the injury in an incident that occurred in Birmingham in May, 2016; four youths appeared in Birmingham Youth Court in relation to the incident earlier this week. According to the BBC, a 17-year was convicted of wounding having admitted in court that he was drunk and had targeted taxis with stones on the night in question; two youths aged 16 and one aged 15 were all convicted of conspiring to damage taxis. Disturbing CCTV footage from inside the taxi showed the 77-year old passenger being struck by a stone after it came in through the window at the rear of the vehicle.
