Police released a picture of the child’s father, who was suspected of masterminding the kidnapping of his wife and daughter from in front of an apartment building in the eastern city of Białystok on Thursday.
Officers launched a massive manhunt, setting up road blocks and screening vehicles as they passed through checkpoints.
Police were asking the public for help and triggered a Child Alert system to send out information about the missing child using electronic means of communication and the media.
Poland’s PAP news agency identified the child’s father as a Polish citizen living and working in neighbouring Germany.
