A third person can also be heard saying "oh my god no, that was so sly". The woman, who's car was damaged, can be heard hysterically crying as people approach her appearing to help.
Near the end of the video, a teenager can be heard saying "the police are going to come, she's called" before the clip cuts off. A Merseyside Police spokesperson said they are in the early stages of the investigation and appealed for people to come forward.
They said: "During one incident yesterday (Thursday, April 6), it was reported that a male ran into the road on Banks Road, forcing a car to stop, before jumping on the windscreen.
"We are in the early stages of investigating this particular incident and would appeal for anyone who witnessed it to please get in touch."
ECHO readers took to the comments section to express their anger at how "out of control" the kids were.
Commenter davey1 said: "The only one with any guts was the woman, scum are scum but why did no one go to her, she must have felt so alone. As for the cowardly rats, have they watched and listened to themselves is this really how they want to live their lives?
"98% of them wouldnt be involved without wearing a mask, in 2023 wearing a mask is a sign of cowardice to scared to be seen as the weak baby faced little boys they are, would that stupid girl laughed if the woman had pulled a terrified child out of the back of her car. Sorry this has really angered me, I couldn't have just stood there."
