8-Year-Old Girl Kidnapped in Brooklyn Car Theft, Safely Recovered Hours Later

A young girl, just 8 years old, was taken from a car in Brooklyn after her mother stepped into a hospital for treatment on Saturday. A thief stole the vehicle, unaware that the girl was still inside the back seat.

A mother, whose identity remains unknown, rushed into Brookdale Hospital in Brownsville following a car accident on Rockaway Parkway, as reported by police sources.

A woman, who seemed to be injured, left her 8-year-old daughter alone in the backseat of a car parked on Rockaway Parkway.

A parked car was reportedly broken into and stolen, while a little girl remained in the backseat waiting for her mother, as stated by the NYPD.

The car was eventually located on Howard Avenue, and the 8-year-old was found safe.

Authorities are unsure whether the carjacker was aware that an 8-year-old was inside the vehicle.
