A Ferry driver has been the subject of a laser attack on Sydney harbour.
Witnesses have told police the laser beam came from a man standing on the Rose Bay public wharf.
The ferry was passing around Seven Thirty when a green laser was shone into the cabin - temporarily blinding the skipper.
Police attending the scene couldn't find the man.
Sergeant Larry Malone says it's an extremely serious offence.
“If it gets in the eyes of the skipper he can’t see and not only that, once the light’s removed from his eyes he’s blinded for a short time…
“We’ve got quite a number of passengers on the ferry, and it’s a danger to all the passengers and crew.”
They say it is fortunate nobody was injured and that the skipper was able to maintain control of the vessel.
There's been other reported laser attacks on ferries - including the Parramatta River.
