A carjacker abandoned a child on the side of the road in Florida after allegedly stealing a car from a mother who had just gotten out to exchange information following an accident.

The Broward County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the suspect responsible for the alleged carjacking, Willio Petioma, 35, was caught after an anonymous tip led to his arrest. 

Officials said the incident took place on Wednesday, June 26, just before 8:30 a.m., when a call about a stolen vehicle was reported in Oakland Park.

The preliminary investigation revealed the victims, a mother and her 3-year-old daughter, were involved in a car accident with another vehicle.

When the mother exited her car to exchange information with the other driver, an unknown adult male entered the driver's side of her vehicle and began to drive away with her child inside, police said.

Investigators said the mother grabbed onto the front passenger door of her vehicle and yelled out to the suspect that her child was inside the car. The mother was then dragged before falling to the ground as Petioma drove away.

Investigators obtained surveillance video of Petioma that captured the entire ordeal.

Video shows Petioma getting out of the vehicle with the child in the car seat. He then leaves her on the sidewalk. 

Luckily, a couple of Good Samaritans immediately go up to the abandoned child.

Additional surveillance video shows Petioma abandoning the vehicle and then using the victim’s credit card at a Family Dollar store, police said.

President Biden has not reached out to Democratic leaders following the disastrous debate performance that has raised questions about his ability to run for re-election, according to reports.

Biden – who suffered a crushing defeat last week in the first presidential debate of the election season – has not made contact with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., according to NBC. He also reportedly has not spoken directly with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.

However, White House chief of staff Jeff Zients has made contact with both Schumer and Jeffries following the debate, NBC reports.
