According to police, the child was in the 7500 block of South Jeffery at approximately 8 a.m. Friday morning when a woman walked out of a nearby alley.

The woman then allegedly attempted to pull a white plastic bag over the child’s head, and then dragged the child to a burnt-orange four-door sedan.
