The New York Police Department says a 1-year-old boy in a stroller rode alone on a Manhattan subway train after his caregiver became ill.

Authorities say the caregiver, a family friend, somehow exited the southbound �1? train at 96th Street about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The train pulled away and the child rode eight stops to Penn Station before he was recovered, unharmed.

Police declined to provide details on the man�s medical condition because of privacy laws. He was not charged.
