Antrim Town UUP Councillor Leah Kirkpatrick has condemned the incident.
“This is beyond horrifying,” she said.
“I cannot fathom why anyone would do something like this. My thoughts are with the woman involved- I'm sure she was absolutely terrified and I really hope she is OK.
“This happened around 8.40am, in a large residential area full of families getting ready to start their day and young children heading to school. There is absolutely no place for this kind of disgusting behaviour in our society and I really hope PSNI find who was responsible. I urge anyone with any information to contact PSNI.”
