The vehicle's windscreen is also smashed and is significantly indented in a large circular shape.

The silhouette of the car is now difficult to distinguish, but it would appear to be a Volkswagen Golf.

A number of scenes are on including Back Heath Terrace, Upper Rushton Road, Barlow Street, Barkerend Road, Harewood Street and Gladstone Street.  

Detectives from the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team are carrying out extensive enquiries.  

Local Neighbourhood Policing Patrols have been stepped up to provide reassurance.
