1-Year-Old Baby Abandoned in Times Square, NYPD Says
Police are reviewing surveillance footage and seeking the child’s parents as Crime Stoppers asks witnesses to come forward with tips.
On Tuesday, April 21, at approximately 11 p.m., New York City Police Department officers discovered an abandoned baby girl in a stroller near West 44th Street and Broadway in Times Square after receiving a 911 call.
Following a dispute between the parents, the father shoved the stroller and tipped it over, according to police sources reviewing surveillance footage from the incident.
Conscious and alert, the infant—estimated to be six months to 1 year old—was transported to Northwell Greenwich Village Hospital for evaluation and listed in stable condition.
Detectives are actively reviewing surveillance footage and canvassing the area to locate the father, who is believed to be homeless and frequents Times Square.
Under New York state law, abandoning a child over 30 days old is a felony, and the child is now in the care of the Administration for Children's Services.
