Police have released video footage of a woman they want to question after a newborn baby, still attached to its umbilical cord, was found abandoned in a New York City subway station.
The clip, shared by the NYPD on Tuesday, shows the woman carrying a bundle wrapped in white cloth as she walks along the sidewalk near 7th Avenue and 34th Street in Midtown — close to the 34th Street–Penn Station, where the baby was discovered.
She is seen wearing pink pants, a red headscarf, and glasses, according to the footage.
Police are seeking this woman for questioning after a newborn, still attached to its umbilical cord, was found abandoned at the 34th Street–Penn Station subway station.
The NYPD cordoned off part of the subway station at 7th Avenue and 34th Street after a newborn baby was found alive and abandoned.
Police said the infant girl was discovered around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday during the morning rush hour on the southbound platform of the 1 train at the busy 34th Street–Penn Station.
About 30 minutes earlier, an unidentified person was seen entering the station and leaving the baby on the floor, wrapped in a blanket, before fleeing on foot, according to authorities.
The newborn, who was conscious and alert with her umbilical cord still attached, was taken by police to Bellevue Hospital in a cruiser and is in stable condition, officials said.
No arrests have been made.
