A special-needs student was hurt Monday afternoon when several boys chucked rocks and bricks at a school bus, smashing a window, police said.

Police now are hunting for the boys, who a witness estimated to be in their early teens.

The special-needs student, 20, suffered facial cuts and eye injuries after the shattered glass rained on her in the 3:30 p.m. incident at 47th and Aspen streets, police said. Medics took her to Penn-Presbyterian Medical Center, where she was treated and released.

"Kids are really rude today, they don't care what they do, but I want this boy prosecuted, I really do," the victim's mother Gina Clancy told 6-ABC. Her daughter Courtney, a student at School of the Future, was one of nine students on the bus when the boys attacked, she said.
