Police say the boy's mother left the car unattended with the 1-year-old in the backseat when someone stole it.
"I stopped and asked her what was wrong and she said that somebody had drove off with her baby. And she was asking how could I help," a good Samaritan said. "I told her jump in the car, I'll look. I rolled up that way and circled the block. I didn't see the car so I flagged down an officer and let him know that her baby was taken."
Police found the car and the little boy about three blocks away.
The child was taken to the hospital to make sure he's OK.
