An Amber Alert was canceled Thursday afternoon when authorities found a missing 11-month-old boy safe after he was allegedly abducted by his grandmother the day before, officials said.

The child was found unharmed with his grandmother, 44-year-old Phoebe Deltrina Haynes, at a Big Lots store on Broadway in Redwood City by a citizen who recognized him from the Amber Alert and called 911.

The boy disappeared around 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Foods Co. grocery store at 345 Williams Ave. in San Francisco’s Bayview district. He was outside the store with Haynes while his mother was inside shopping, officials said.

When the mother returned from inside the store, Haynes and the boy were nowhere to be seen, officials said.
