    LONG ISLAND, New York (WABC) — A mother and father are facing charges after police say they left their baby in a locked car in the parking lot of a mall in Nassau County.

The 1-year old boy was found alone, crying and sweating, in the back of a Mercedes-Benz outside the Americana Mall in Manhasset Tuesday afternoon.

Two eyewitnesses tried to break into the car to get him out, but were unsuccessful.

When police arrived, they were able to break a window and get the infant out.

Police say he was in there for about an hour.

He’s expected to be okay.

The boy’s parents, Jingcai Zhou, 34, and Lu Lu, 28, are being charged with Reckless Endangerment 1st Degree and Endangering the Welfare of a Child.

Their arraignment is set for today.
