Cops are looking for a man who took $500 from a child’s hand.

According to police, on Friday shortly before 11 a.m., a woman, 43, was inside a liquor store on East 163rd Street when her 3-year-old son took $500 out of her jacket pocket.

The mother did not realize this happened, cops said, but the suspect saw and took the money from the kid’s hand. He then fled the store.

Cops described the man as a dark-skinned male in his early 30s, 5-foot-9 and about 240 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call 800-577-TIPS.
