HAMTRAMCK, Mich. – Authorities in upstate New York are searching for Harbe Nagi, a 7-year-old boy with autism, who is the nephew of Hamtramck Mayor Adam Alharbi, and police say he may need medical attention.
Nagi was reported missing on June 28 in the village of Menands, near Albany.
Police said the child is nonverbal and is believed to be barefoot.
Authorities described Harbe as approximately 3’7” tall.
His clothing description was not immediately available.
Alharbi has asked the public to keep the family in their thoughts as the search continues.
Police and emergency crews are using multiple search tactics to locate the boy, including deploying an ice cream truck in the hope that its familiar music will draw him out if he is hiding nearby.
