A police officer was hit by a brick thrown by two people on a scrambler bike in a "disgraceful" attack, Merseyside Police said.
The officer was in a police car in Liverpool when "two males on an orange and black off-road bike approached the car and threw a brick through the rear windscreen" at about 15:00 GMT on Friday, police said.
The people on the bike fled the scene.
The officer was taken to hospital with a non-life threatening head injury.
Det Insp Debbie Tipton said: "To be the victim of such an incident while going about your job is disgraceful and we are carrying out a number of inquires to find those responsible and bring them to justice."
She appealed for anyone with information to contact police.
