A New York City carjacker is in custody after stealing a minivan with a 6-month-old baby inside on Sunday, according to police.

Victor Matos, 53, of the Bronx was charged with fourth-degree grand larceny, second-degree kidnapping, fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 years of age, second-degree unlawful imprisonment and criminal mischief.

Daughtry said a 6-month-old child was in the back seat of the vehicle, described as a 2000 Chrysler minivan registered in Pennsylvania.
