And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

Today is Wednesday, April 17th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning. In the news this morning, a two-year-old was abducted from her home in East Mount Airy overnight. The suspect broke a window to gain access to the house on Raw Street and then took the child around 2 a.m. Police don't believe the child is in any danger. Here's why. The suspect who has been talking to police on the phone is the mother's ex-boyfriend, the ex-boyfriend who says that he helped raise this child. So they don't think that this kid is in any danger, but they are trying to obviously find the child and get the child back to the mother. He claims to be the child's father, but the mother says that he is not. The suspect has been calling the mother's phone and talking to police. He says he's going to drop the child off, but that was about over an hour ago at this point. Police are stationed at different locations where they believe the suspect may drop the child off, but so far there's been no sighting of him. He is in the mother's car, so they are also searching for that vehicle. Police are in contact with the suspect and family members. Again, they don't believe the child is in danger, but the mother is at the police station waiting to be reunited with her two-year-old child. Six people were injured after a driver intentionally tried to run them over in North Philadelphia. Police say it happened yesterday at 350 in the afternoon at 16th in Lehigh. Police said they received a 911 call about a 44-year-old man trying to hit people with his gray

Buick century following an altercation. According to police, six people ranging in the age from

17 to 42 years old were hurting the incident. One witness said it was like a bowling ball striking

bowling pins, except it was a car striking people. There were people on the ground scattered

everywhere. Two people were transported to Temple University Hospital in critical condition.

The other victims, their condition at this time is unknown.

And then there were some people from the neighborhood who pulled the 44-year-old out of the vehicle and assaulted him,

causing him some injuries to his face.

Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said the driver was and policed in custody at Hahneman University Hospital.

He has not yet been identified.

Or sorry, he has been identified.

His name has not been released.

He is expected to be charged with six counts of aggravated assault by motor vehicle and

related offenses.

It's weird because one time I was on a Manhattan Street and a taxi cab lost control and went up on the sidewalk.

That was down the street from me, but it was heading towards me.

And I remember just standing there like, what am I looking at?

Because it's just so alien to you.

It probably would have continued in him because you're like, you're trying to process this.
