Atlanta police said a 2-year-old girl has been found safe hours after she was abducted by her father following a “violent domestic” incident with her mother.
A relative of Tamar Massey brought her to the DeKalb County Jail, where police determined she was unharmed. Her father, 24-year-old Tremayne Hines, remains at large, Atlanta police said in a statement.
Tamar was taken about 4 a.m. Sunday after Hines got into a violent argument with her mother at a location on Eppworth Street in southwest Atlanta, police said.
Authorities have not released many details about the domestic incident but said Hines stabbed the child’s mother during it. The mother was left seriously injured and assault charges are pending against Hines, according to police.
Hines may be traveling on foot or may have used MARTA to leave the area, as “he does not have a vehicle,” authorities said.
Anyone with information on Hines’s whereabouts is asked to contact Atlanta police.
