A four-year-old girl narrowly avoided being shot after two stray bullets pierced the window of an Arizona barber shop where she was playing and watching television.

Surveillance video released by Chandler Police Department shows the girl dancing through the Paisanos Barber Shop before sitting on a seat near the shopfront window facing the street.

Moments after she sat down, gunfire shattered the window on either side of her head, spraying the girl with glass and sending her running through the shop.

The young girl was injured by the glass debris but was not shot, Arizona's ABC15 reported.

Police said the bullets were shot from a car after an argument at a nearby tattoo parlour, and were not intended to hit the barber shop.

Two men have been arrested — Michael Hart, 23 and Rafael Santos, 21 — on charges of aggravated assault and endangerment.
