A 1-year-old was later found by authorities after three suspects stole a vehicle while the child was still inside, according to the Fort Worth Police Department.

At about 12:50 p.m. Saturday, police responded to a call about a kidnapping in the 1300 block of Orange Avenue.

A woman’s vehicle was stolen from the location while a 1-year-old child was still inside, according to police.

After assaulting the 12-year-old, the suspects fled the scene with the vehicle with the 1-year-old still inside, police told the Star-Telegram.

Officers later found the 1-year-old unharmed and was returned to their mother, according to police.

The suspects and the stolen vehicle have not been located.
