A 3-year-old boy was found wandering alone on the streets of the Bronx Thursday morning, authorities say.
The toddler opened his kitchen door and walked out of the apartment around 6 a.m. Thursday, police said. A taxi driver spotted the child walking along Sedgwick Avenue, near West 167th Street, in Highbridge around 6 a.m., and brought him to the 44th Precinct stationhouse nearby.
Authorities say the child was taken to Lincoln Hospital for evaluation, but appeared to be OK. It wasn't clear how long he had been outside.
The child was then taken from the hospital back to the precinct, where he was reunited with his grandmother, who had gone straight to police when she noticed he was missing.
The Administration for Children's Services was notified. Police said they wouldn't file charges against the grandmother.
