Wandering toddler found safe after apartment escape

A wandering 2-year-old was found safe and sound after getting out of his parents’ Brooklyn apartment and going for a walk up the street Tuesday evening.

‎The tot’s mother, Kaya, said her son managed to open the front door of their apartment on Foster Avenue in East Flatbush.

“My son, Dawson, he is just very smart,” Kaya said. “He pulls things, he twists things,” she said, explaining that the door had a faulty lock that has since been replaced.

Little Dawson walked out of the building and was spotted by neighbors standing in the intersection of Foster and Troy avenues just after 8 p.m., authorities said.

A good Samaritan pulled the wayward tyke out of the busy street, and ‎tried to identify him.

“The baby was standing in the middle of the crosswalk, and there was a green light. He was dead in the middle, just looking left and right,” said the man, who identified himself as Kevin.

Another neighbor called authorities, who said Dawson was in good health.

Dawson was reunited with his concerned parents‎ about an hour-and-a-half after going missing.

“I’m just happy I found my son,” said Kaya.
