Paramedics were sent to Vermont Avenue and Seventh Street about 5 p.m. Thursday took the boy to a hospital in critical condition, the Los Angeles Police Department reported.
The boy did not have identification in his possession, and police sought the public's help to identify him so they could notify his parents or a legal guardian.

"The parents have been located and reunited with the juvenile," police said in a statement.
The boy's name was withheld by police. Other details were not released.
