Authorities are seeking a 5-year-old New York boy who was abducted from a residence by two men wearing black ski masks. An Amber Alert has been issued in three Northeast states.

Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple says the men entered the house, pinned a woman to the floor and snatched the child in broad daylight.
