Amber alert issued after father 'abducts' kids








A father took his two children from their Bronx home – then carjacked a driver at gunpoint to escape, authorities said.

An Amber alert has been issued for the 5-year-old son and the 2-year-old daughter of Fitz Edwards, 29, who is believed to be in a 2005 gray Honda Accord with New York plates reading “EWV 6599,” sources said.

Edwards got into an argument with the mother of his children on Barker Avenue, near Laconia Avenue, around 5 a.m., today, sources said. He pulled a gun and set fire to her fifth-floor apartment before fleeing with the two children, who were barefoot and dressed only in Pampers, sources said.



The mother was not injured, police said.

The father walked along Bronx Park East before stealing the car, sources told The Post.
