Los Angeles police say they've recovered a pickup truck stolen with a 7-year-old boy inside, but the carjacking suspect and the child are still missing.

Officials say the Chevrolet Silverado was found abandoned in Beverly Hills, a few miles from where it was stolen Thursday afternoon.

The boy's father, Angelo Marks, tells KABC-TV that the pickup was taken by a friend of his. Marks says he had been driving around with his son and the friend when he stopped for some food. He says his friend grew aggravated, punched Marks in the head and drove off in the truck with the boy in the back seat.

Marks didn't identify the suspect. Police described him as a middle-aged man wearing a dark hooded sweater and dark pants.
