The California Highway Patrol is asking the public for help in identifying a boy they found riding a scooter along the 110 Freeway in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. 

According to a CHP media release, officers located the child, described as a Black male juvenile between the ages of 10 to 13, riding a scooter in the express lanes of the southbound 110 near Jefferson Boulevard around 6:30 p.m.

He was wearing nothing but a black shirt and blue boxer shorts, and it was later determined he entered the freeway from 28^th Street and Flower Street, CHP said. 

The boy is non-verbal, authorities added.

Los Angeles County Fire Department officials transported the boy to L.A. General Hospital for observation and contacted the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services as well as the Los Angeles Police Department. 

LAPD did not have any missing person reports matching the boy’s description, CHP said. 

Anyone with information on the boy’s identity is asked to call the L.A. Department of Children and Family Services (1-800-540-4000) or the CHP’s Central Los Angeles area office (213-744-2331). 

No photo of the boy was immediately provided by law enforcement.
