Police: Man Steals Car With Child Sleeping In Backseat
HARTFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Hartford police are looking for a man they say stole a car while a 5-year-old girl was sleeping in the backseat.
Police responded to the report of a stolen vehicle early Sunday morning.
An unidentified woman said she was sitting in the passenger's seat of her family's vehicle when a man got into the car, forced her out and drove away. She said her daughter was sleeping in the backseat during the carjacking.
Sgt. Ian Powell says someone later reported that the vehicle had stopped and someone had dropped the child off on a sidewalk. An ambulance responded to check on the condition of the child.
Police later found the car but did not find the man.
