"Thanks to the public’s assistance and the great work by the men and women of NYPD, the 6-month-old has been found safe and a suspect has been taken into custody," NYPD wrote.
Fox News Digital reached out to the police department for details about the suspect but did not immediately hear back.
Law enforcement sources reportedly told the New York Post that the 53-year-old suspect has not been officially charged with a crime and has only been identified as a person of interest.
He allegedly has multiple prior arrests, including being charged with grand larceny auto in November. At the time, he was charged with stealing a Jeep Liberty in the Bronx, sources told the publication.
