Child Thrown From Minivan During Carjacking

A child was pushed out of a stolen minivan Wednesday night outside of Children's Hospital in northwest Washington, D.C. Police said.

However, a Comcast cable installer saw the girl huddled under the bumper of a car and crying and took action. He made sure the girl, believed to be about 4 years old, was safe while authorities continued after the stolen vehicle by holding the child inside his work van until police arrived.

The little girl's mother was carjacked at about 7 p.m. Wednesday outside Children's National Medical Center.

Then the thieves pushed the girl out of the van several blocks away on Franklin Street in Northeast.
Police eventually found the stolen minivan in the Mount Ranier area of Prince George's County, Md.
One person was taken into custody.
