A car left idling outside a cell-phone store in The Bronx was swiped tonight — with an 8-month-old baby in the back seat, cops said.
The silver Jeep was found a little over an hour later with the little girl inside unharmed, police said.
The perp is still in the wind.
The child’s dad, Pattrick Julbe, told cops that he had hopped out of the 2005 Grand Cherokee — leaving it running with the mom and his baby daughter, Ayanna, still inside — after pulling up to the store at Morris Avenue and East Knightsbridge Road around 6:18 p.m., authorities said.
The mom then got out for just a minute — and the thief hopped in.
The crook then sped off. It’s unclear if he knew there was a child inside.
The car — with Ayanna inside — was later found abandoned at 7:40 p.m. at Goble and Jerome avenues in Inwood.
The baby was taken to Montefiore Hospital to be checked out.
