A nine-month-old baby was left at the side of road still in a car seat after being driven off in an allegedly stolen car.
The infant was in the vehicle with a child under the age of nine when it was briefly left unattended outside the family home with the engine running in Dublin at around 7pm on Sunday.
A thief who had been watching allegedly got into the car and drove away with it, stopping to leave the baby behind a short distance away.
The older child managed to get out of the Skoda themselves.
Thankfully the baby was unharmed in the incident, the Independent.ie reports.
