A young girl, just 8 years old, was left unattended in a vehicle as her mother entered a Brooklyn hospital for treatment on Saturday. In a shocking turn of events, a thief took the car, driving away with the girl still inside.
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, seemingly injured, abandoned her 8-year-old daughter alone in the backseat of a car that was parked on Rockaway Parkway.
A parked car was reportedly broken into and stolen, leaving a little girl in the backseat waiting for her mother to come back, as stated by the NYPD.
The car was subsequently located on Howard Avenue, and the 8-year-old was safely rescued.
Authorities are uncertain whether the individual who stole the car was aware that an 8-year-old child was inside the vehicle.
