SUNSET PARK, N.Y. -- A child was rescued in Brooklyn after an out-of-control car jumped a curb and ran over him.

The toddler walked away with only minor injuries, but surveillance video showed the boy walking on the sidewalk, then a car knocks a small tree onto him. The car then runs over the boy. The boy apparently ended up between the tires.

The incident happened Monday afternoon in Sunset Park.

An eyewitness said the child was conscious, and was taken to a hospital to be checked out.

So far, the driver has not been charged.
