ATLANTA – A boy found wandering the streets of Atlanta on Halloween night has been identified and his parents have been located, police said.

Atlanta police have not disclosed how the non-verbal 4-year-old boy ended up on Briar Glen Lane, not far from Mt. Gilead Road in southwest Atlanta. A couple saw the child walking in the middle of the street around 10.50pm on Thursday.

FOX 5 was there as Atlanta Police uniformed patrol officers tried to make contact with the residents of a home on Briar Ridge Way. Officers confirmed their response was in regards to the stray child, but would not comment further.
