A young boy was found safe after carjackers stole a vehicle while he was still inside in Philadelphia's West Oak Lane section Wednesday. 

The 6-year-old boy was with his 36-year-old father on the 7500 block of E. Tulpehocken Street Wednesday at 4:50 p.m. when they were approached by four men at gunpoint, police said.

The suspects stole the man's vehicle, a 2006 silver Mercedes Benz R350. The boy as well as another passenger, a family friend, were both inside the vehicle at the time. The robbers also stole an unknown amount of money, sunglasses and a phone, police said.
