A little girl is safe and a brief carjacking ride through Brooklyn on Saturday.
Police said the 8-year-old girl had been left unattended inside the backseat of a vehicle when a man stole the car and took it for a brief joyride in Brownsville.
The NYPD said she had been left alone in a Dodge Durango on Rockaway Parkway near Avenue A just before 3 p.m. on Saturday.
That's when the man got behind the wheel of the vehicle and took off, according to police. He dumped the car and the girl about a mile and a half north at Grafton Street and Pitkin Avenue about 30 minutes later.
