ALBANY, N.Y. -- Albany Police have arrested the woman who was responsible for a three-year-old boy who was reported missing Monday afternoon.

Police say the three-year-old was left inside a running vehicle on Ten Broeck Street when his aunt ran inside to grab diapers and the car was stolen.

Ahjhanea Threat, 20, has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

The little boy was found unharmed a short time later by a postal worker.

Police, meanwhile, found the SUV abandoned.

"The vehicle was located right here by Ida Yardbrough parking lot. The child was not there, though within minutes, we got a call from a postal worker who was up by the Boys and Girls Club within this complex, found the child wandering," said Albany Police Spokesperson James Miller.

It's not clear how the little boy got out of the car.

Police are still searching for the person who stole the car.
