Upset pedestrian seeks egg thrower

To the people in the car heading west on Stadium Avenue on Saturday evening at a little after 11 p.m. who decided it'd be funny to lean out and throw eggs at myself, my friend and my girlfriend while driving about 40 mph: It's one thing to pull a prank that messes up someone's clothes, but when you're probably too drunk to throw straight and end up smashing the egg against my girlfriend's face it becomes a serious issue. I consider this the equivalent of someone coming up and punching her in the face and then running away laughing. The paramedics did a good job calming her down afterwards, but it would be nice to know who would slam a girl's face with an egg and then not have the decency to stop their car to try to correct their stupidity. To anyone who knows these people and heard or overheard them talking about it happening, please contact me so their names can be filled into the police report that was filed.
