A four-year-old missing child was found wandering the streets alone in a onesie next to one of the busiest roads in Swansea .

The worrying incident was reported to police at 5.55am on Thursday, June 6, after the child was spotted in Carmarthen Road.

One woman claimed the child had also been seen in Middle Road and Maes Y Felin, just under a mile away from Carmarthen Road.

She said: "A young child was found wandering around in his onesie this morning around 6am having crossed Carmarthen Road. 

"Three drivers passing by stopped to aid the child and call police. One witness said the child had previously been seen in Middle Road/Maes Y Felin.

"Two police vans and a car attended the scene and the boy was taken to safety. Hope the child and parents are reunited soon."
