Police arrest two men after mother carjacked, her one-month-old baby inside the car

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee police say two men from Milwaukee have been arrested after a mother was carjacked near 66th and Montana on Monday, May 23rd. Her one-month-old baby was inside the car.

Police said Tuesday, May 24th the vehicle that struck the mother's vehicle in this "bump and run" carjacking was recovered.

The carjacking happened Monday morning -- about a block-and-a-half away from Milwaukee's Fairview School.

Police say around 6:30 a.m., the mother's vehicle was struck by another vehicle, with two suspects inside. When she got out of her vehicle to check the damage, one of the suspects pushed her out of the way, and the suspects took off in her vehicle -- with her one-month-old child still inside.

After driving for about a block, the still-sleeping baby was removed from the vehicle and the suspects continued on their way.

Jim Rzad just moved into a home in the area where the baby was recovered.

"We`ve been in the house six months," Rzad said.

Rzad said hearing of the crime was unsettling.

"It might`ve changed the perspective a little bit for me. I think, drastically, our lives won`t change, but maybe make us more aware to look out for things possibly," Rzad said.

FOX6 News spoke briefly with the baby's mother on Tuesday. She said she and her family are counting their blessings, and are thankful the baby is safe.

Police say the case against the two Milwaukee men arrested will be presented to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office in the coming days.
