The violence did not end there as a brick was thrown at the windscreen of a parked car nearby.
A camera at the front of the address was also damaged in attempt to conceal the identities of the offenders.

Following the shooting on 11pm on May 18, 2024, West Midlands Police launched a major investigation.
They pieced together CCTV footage, ANPR cameras and mobile phone evidence and identified Shomari Mapp, Aairus Rehman and Shaquon Richardson-Bowen, all now 22, as the offenders.
The criminals were caught on camera driving a stolen Skoda used in the attack to a quiet spot where they torched it in a bid to destroy evidence.
In the hours leading to the shooting, mobile phone evidence proved all three men were together or in close proximity.

Their mobile phones were either switched off or inactive during the shooting.
CCTV footage showed the gang driving past Glendower Road, an hour before the shooting to survey the area.
Mapp, of Melvina Road, and Richardson-Bowen, of Severne Road, were found guilty after a trial of attempted murder and arson and jailed for 20 years each.
Rehman, of Ringlow Road, admitted arson and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life at an earlier hearing, and was found guilty at trial of attempted murder.
He was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Det Insp Francis Nock, from the Major Crimes Unit, said: “The shooting required immense planning by the offenders.
“They conducted careful reconnaissance of the location and clearly planned both the shooting itself and how to best cover their tracks afterwards. It’s a miracle someone wasn’t more seriously injured.”
