Police were making a welfare check at 388 Courtland Ave. after finding the woman's 5-year-old daughter unharmed but alone in the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City in the morning, the Advocate said. 

Joseph Pentangelo of the Port Authority Police Department told Daily Voice that the young girl was found unattended on the second floor and was taken to Port Authority police facility.

There were signs of struggle in the apartment, and police are now searching for the woman's husband, Elmer Gomez Ruono, 32, the Advocate said.
