At around 6:30 p.m. late on Thursday afternoon, officers from the Greenbelt Police Department were called to the 9100 block, where a woman had just been attacked by at least four people who wanted to take her kid.

According to the woman, she was walking her newborn outside in a stroller when two dark-colored vehicles pulled up, and a Black woman with braids and three other suspects got out and attempted to make off with the child.

She said she was able to grab the child and ran away while getting punched repeatedly until the suspects sped away from the area in the vehicles.

Responding officers canvassed the area, though their search came up empty.

The incident remains under investigation.
