A teenager told police on Wednesday that he was the boy who vanished in Illinois in 2011, and that he had just escaped from two kidnappers, authorities said.

The 14-year-old told cops that he was Timmothy Pitzen and that he had just escaped from two men with “body-builder-type physiques” who had held him captive for seven years, police in Sharonville, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, wrote in an ­incident report.

The boy said the men were holding him in a Red Roof Inn in the state.

The boy is believed to have run across a bridge into Newport, Ky., after breaking free from his captors. Residents there called cops after they saw him wandering the streets looking “like he had been beat up,” one said.

He told police one of his kidnappers has a spider-web tattoo on his neck and the other has snake tattoos on his arms.

They drove a Ford SUV bearing Wisconsin license plates, he said.

He also gave cops his date of birth, which matches Timmothy’s.

Police searched Red Roof Inns in the area, but nothing was found, according to the ­incident report.

Timmothy has been missing since 2011, when his mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, picked him up from school in Aurora, Ill., and took him to a zoo and to a Wisconsin water park.

She was found dead days later with her wrists slit in an apparent suicide in an Illinois hotel room.

Aurora police said Wednesday they are sending two detectives to the Cincinnati area.

Sgt. Bill Rowley of the Aurora Police Department said he wasn’t yet sure if the youngster is, in fact, the missing boy.

“Pitzen disappeared 10 years ago and we’ve probably had thousands of tips of him popping up in different areas,” Rowley said.

“We have no idea what we’re driving down there for. It could be Pitzen. It could be a hoax.”

FBI officials said in a statement Wednesday afternoon that they are working on a missing-child case with several police departments in Ohio, as well as with the Aurora Police Department and one in Kentucky.
