A baby was miraculously unharmed after getting caught in the middle of a terrifying shooting.

Three men and two women were socialising on the street and were with the tot when a motorbike came speeding around the corner.

One of the men, who was standing outside a front door, looked up at the two men on the bike and immediately dashed inside.

The pillion passenger opened fire a split second later, followed by the rider.

The adults on the street scarpered in fear, while the baby remained directly between the gunmen and their target.

More than 15 bangs rang out as the men continued shooting into the house.

The baby could be heard screaming as one of the women tried to get close to her.

However, she backed off as one of the crooks pointed his gun at her.

The men eventually rode off, allowing the other woman to run over and pick up the terrified tot.

A little boy could be seen emerging from the house shortly before the footage ended.

The attack in Pedras de Fogo, north of Recife, Brazil, happened last Wednesday (26 Feb).

The target of the attack was the one-year-old girl’s father, according to the police.

He was shot three times in the leg, but local media say his injuries are not serious.

Thankfully, no one else was hurt, as reported by Need To Know.

The suspects had not been identified and the motive is unknown.
