(AP) A 2-year-old boy was kidnapped during a carjacking and is in "extreme danger," police said Thursday.

The toddler's mother, Lakendra Trice, told police two men approached her and her son Tellious Brown as they got out of a car Wednesday night.

She said the men pointed a gun at her and drove off with the boy still in the car, which police found abandoned a short time later.

Police referred all questions to the FBI, who declined to comment.
