(CNN) - A 16-year-old girl who was walking with her mother in the Bronx was dragged into a vehicle by men who later fled the scene, the New York Police Department said.
Karol Sánchez, 16, was walking with his mother on Eagle Avenue, near East 156th Street in the well-known New York neighborhood, at approximately 11:20 p.m. on Monday, when they were approached by a beige four-door sedan. The car stopped and two men got out and grabbed the teenager, New York police said. Then they dragged her into the vehicle and pushed her mother to the ground.
Two other men waited in the vehicle. The group then fled east on 156th Street, police said.
The mother, 36, was abandoned at the scene and was not injured.
According to the Amber Alert, Karol Sánchez is a black Hispanic teenager, approximately 1.67 centimeters tall and about 68 kilos in weight, with short black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a blue jacket, white shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers.
The men who are wanted to be questioned were described as four 20-year-old black adults, dressed in dark clothes.
An Amber Alert sent to New York City residents around 10:45 am Tuesday was related to their abduction, New York police officer Patrick Quinlan told CNN.
"The young woman was taken under circumstances that lead us to believe that she may be in imminent danger of bodily harm and / or death," he said.
