A young girl was reunited with a guardian Tuesday morning after she was found walking alone in Englewood on the South.

Someone driving to work saw the girl, between 2 and 4 years old, standing alone in the 600 block of West 71st Street about 4 a.m., Chicago police said. The man called police after not being able to find a guardian or parent.

The girl was wearing a jacket and a hat, police said, and appeared to have been uninjured. She was brought to Comer Children’s Hospital in good condition.

About 7 a.m., she was reunited with her guardian, police said.
