The two children ran off as they were being driven to school in Brooklyn, police said.

Police found two children who they believe took off from a car as they were on their way to school the day after New Year’s.

The pair, 12-year-old Treston Dixon and 9-year-old Lazir Dixon, were in a car headed to school in Brooklyn around 8:30 a.m. Thursday, police said. As the car came to a stop at the intersection of Schenectady Avenue and Prospect Place in Crown Heights, the two jumped out and ran away.

Both Treston and Lazir were found more than 10 hours later in good condition.
