A transient is apparently holding a young child hostage near a Rite-Aid at the intersection of Santa Anita Avenue and Valley Mall in El Monte.

Very few details about the situation are available. Brian Day is rolling to the scene with a photographer in tow.

Several callers have informed us about the event. We're attempting to get more details now
