Four-month-old Hannah Ford was in a baby seat in her father's car when she was hit by the tear gas sprayed by Kenneth Taylor, 23, who had chased the family car after being "cut up" at a roundabout in Newport, Gwent. He had earlier attacked another driver 10 miles away. Taylor, of Butetown, Cardiff, had denied assault and administering a noxious substance.
