Video shows woman wanted for questioning after baby with umbilical cord attached found in NYC subway station
Police have released footage of a woman wanted for questioning after a newborn baby with its umbilical cord still attached was found abandoned at a New York City subway station.
A clip released by the NYPD Tuesday shows the woman holding a bundle wrapped in white cloths in her arms as she walks down the sidewalk near 7th Avenue and 34th Street in Midtown — not far from where the baby was discovered at the 34th Street-Penn Station.
She was wearing pink pants, a red headscarf and glasses, the video shows.
The newborn girl was found around 9:30 a.m. yesterday during the morning rush hour on the southbound platform of the 1 train at the busy station, cops said.
About a half-hour earlier, an unidentified individual had entered the station and left the baby on the dirty floor wrapped in a blanket, according to police.
The person then exited the subway and fled on foot.
The baby, who was conscious and alert with her umbilical cord still attached, was taken by police in a cruiser to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, cops and sources said.
No arrests have been made.
