A missing five-month-old has been found safe and well, police have said.

The boy was reported missing from Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, on Thursday, as officers launched a manhunt for a man called James Dempsey.

West Midlands Police later announced that the child had been found and thanked the public for its help in the search.

A 35-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of child abduction and remains in custody, the force said.

Officers previously said the baby's family was "anxious and worried about the baby boy and just want him home".

Detectives also appealed for sightings of a silver Vauxhall Astra seen heading towards Coventry early on Thursday morning.
