A young girl — believed to be between 4 and 6 years old — was found wandering a Bronx street alone on New Year’s Eve, police said.

Cops were able to track down the child’s parents — who could now be facing charges, the NYPD said Sunday.

The department earlier had released a photo of the unidentified brown-haired girl, who was spotted walking by herself on Leland Avenue, near Gleason Avenue, in Parkchester at around 6:25 p.m. on Saturday.

“She was found wearing a pink jacket and brown tights with a unicorn design,” the NYPD said in a news release about the child.

The girl was taken to Jacobi Hospital for a medical evaluation.

Investigators were trying to determine how she ended up alone, a police spokesman said.

“They’re pulling video,” the spokesman said. “They’re trying to ascertain what happened.”

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips.

All calls are strictly confidential.
