QUEENS — Police are searching for a 3-year-old girl who was last seen at Jamaica Hospital on Wednesday afternoon, officials said.

Latifah Crump was last seen around 3:30 p.m. with her biological mother, Candace Crump, 41, who does not have custody of the girl, authorities said. 

The child, who lives in Queens Village, was taken to Jamaica Hospital after an incident in which her father was arrested, police said.
