Shocked locals called police, after a toddler was seen dangling from the back window of a moving car in Wellington.
Police confirmed they were called to Queen St in Upper Hutt about 12.30pm, to reports of a toddler hanging outside the car window.
Officers were immediately sent to the scene.
However, they were unable to locate the car or its occupants.
A witness on a local Facebook page said she took photos of the car and its licence plate, but they were blurry.
