Minutes turned to frightful hours as a search intensified for 8-year-old boy Alan Wang of Paramus -- who was eventually found safe and sound.

Paramus Police Chief Kenneth Ehrenberg confirmed the happy news shortly after 6:30 p.m. April 26.

A civilian spotted Alan near a Route 17 restaurant about 3/4 of a mile from his home and called police. Alan was quickly reunited with his family.

"The sun started going down, which was going to affect our search efforts," a responder said. "We're happy a bystander located him for us."
