The incident took place on Monday the 20th of June as a Northern service approached Hull Paragon station and is still under investigation by British Transport Police.
The appalling action saw 15-week-old Esme Emmerson hit by flying glass.
Esme was travelling with her parents, Jason Emmerson and Kristina Vojsovicova on the 15:00 Northern service from Bridlington to Hull, the incident took place at 15:45 and happened close to Snuff Mill Lane.
Tony Baxter, regional director for Northern, said:
“In our experience, this sort of attack is rarely the action of a ‘lone wolf’ and more likely the reckless pastime of a group that thinks it’s fun to throw things at fast-moving trains.
“The perpetrator has had a month to turn themselves in and has chosen not to – so it’s time for someone who was with them and knows what happened to come forward and help British Transport Police with their investigation.”
“The consequences of a brick hitting a fast-moving train are potentially devastating and we can only give thanks that little Esme wasn’t more seriously injured.”
