UPDATE: Police tweeted at 4:50 pm that the children had been found unharmed, and a suspect had been taken into custody. 

Baltimore police are asking for the public's help in locating a 29-year-old man accused of abducting two children from his girlfriend's home this morning in South Baltimore.

About 1 p.m., police received a call from a woman in the 2400 block of Dorton Ct., in the Westport area, who said her boyfriend, Kwame Oseitutu, had abducted the couple's 3-year-old daughter, Akeelah, and the woman's 5-year-old girl, Emani, following a domestic dispute earlier in the day, police said.

Police said Oseitutu has threatened to harm the 5-year-old girl, and homicide detectives are investigating. (The homicide unit investigates all kidnapping cases). Police believe the girls may now be in the custody of a third party who is unaware of the circumstances.

Oseitutu resides in the 2400 block of Dorton Ct., and is described as a black male, 6-feet-tall, 200 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call the homicide unit at 410-396-2100.
