An 8-year-old girl was kidnapped outside a Brooklyn hospital when a thief stole a car with her in the backseat, as reported by the NY Post

The incident happened outside Brookdale Hospital in Brownsville. The girl’s mother had left her in the car while she went inside for medical help. She was reportedly involved in a car accident on Rockaway Parkway, according to police sources.

The injured mother left her 8-year-old daughter alone in the backseat of their parked car, on Rockaway Parkway. It is unclear how long she was gone. Later, someone broke into the vehicle and rode off, with the little girl still inside waiting for her mom to come back,  according to NYPD.

The car was later found on Howard Avenue, and the 8-year-old girl was safe and unharmed. Police say they don’t know if the car thief realized the girl was inside the vehicle.
