The youngster's mum said she was set upon in a car park ahead of football match.
A baby boy has been kidnapped in an incident at a shop - which also saw the seven-month-old's mother being attacked outside the store in question.
‌
The youngster was swiped after his mum was knocked unconscious in a car park and a police search is underway to try and track down the missing child.
‌
The drama unfolded in Yucaipa, California, on Thursday evening as the family, which included the tot's four siblings, were in the area for a youth football match.
‌
Rebecca Haro, the mum of the child, Emmanuel Haro, had gone into a sports shop, called Big 5, to by a mouthguard for her stepson, and was attacked after leaving the premises.
The Mirror reports police have now launched a hunt for the baby boy and called on the public for help tracking down the child quickly as the heartbroken mum shared a desperate plea.
The mum told cops she realised her baby's diaper needed changing, when she went back to her car at the store, so laid him down in the back seat. Rebecca said she was then attacked from the back but when she got up her son was gone.
Rebecca, according to abc7, said: "I got him out of the car seat, and I laid him down so I can get his diaper ready ... all I remember, I saw white ... I fell on the floor, and as soon as I got up, I couldn't find my son.

"I checked all around my truck. And I ran into Big 5, and I asked the lady if she saw a baby or someone with a baby. She said no. He's a happy boy."
Emmanuel's dad, Jake Haro, said: "He was a healthy baby, he was crawling, he was kicking, he was playing with his toys. Whoever took our son, please give him back."
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said: "K9 Units with scent tracking dogs also responded and conducted and an exhaustive search for the child and any possible suspects."
‌
Police said the baby was last seen wearing a black Nike onesie, weighs about 21 pounds, is approximately 24 inches tall, has brown hair, brown eyes, and is cross-eyed.
The cops also made a plea to the public and said: "This is an active investigation, and we are seeking the public's help in locating the child."
The heartbroken family returned to the store's car park on Friday to hand out leaflets to the public and launch a search party for the missing baby.
