baby abandoned new york city subway.

New York City police say they’ve arrested the mother of a newborn girl who was abandoned at a busy midtown Manhattan subway station with her umbilical cord still attached. The 30-year-old Queens woman was taken into custody shortly before 3 a.m. Wednesday and charged with abandoning and endangering a child. She was expected to appear in court later in the day. The baby was left Monday in a passageway at the 34th Street-Penn Station subway stop during the typically crowded morning rush hour. The subway stop is attached to the broader Penn Station complex — the country’s busiest rail hub.

New York City police released images of a woman wanted for questioning after an infant girl with her umbilical cord still attached was abandoned at a busy midtown Manhattan subway station. Authorities on Tuesday asked for the public’s help in identifying the woman, who is seen on a 2-second video clip carrying something that is bundled. The baby was found unattended and wrapped in a blanket at the 34th Street-Penn Station subway station in midtown Manhattan on Monday morning. She was taken to a hospital and listed in stable condition. Police are calling it a case of endangering the welfare of a child.
