Vandals hurled part of a traffic cone from a bridge, smashing the windscreen of a car below.
The driver managed to stop safely but police said the louts' action could have had serious or even fatal consequences.
The incident happened just after midnight last night on the A27 Lewes-Brighton road near Falmer.
