Mystery unfolds as ‘days old’ baby girl found abandoned in Yonkers apartment building hallway
A newborn baby girl was found alone in the hallway of an apartment building in Yonkers Tuesday night, prompting an immediate investigation into the child’s mysterious abandonment.
Officers were called to 32 Chestnut Street at approximately 8:30 p.m. after receiving a call that a baby was left unattended in the building, Yonkers police said in a statement.
“The found baby is a female that is approximately only a few days old,” the statement read.
The newborn was taken to an area hospital for further evaluation.
She is currently in stable condition, police added.
Detectives returned to the area Wednesday morning to continue their investigation, a police spokesperson told The Post over the phone.
The apartment building where the baby was found was small, with only about three or four units.
There is also a security camera located in the area, though it was not immediately clear where.
Yonkers Police Officers as well as Detectives from our Special Victims Unit, Major Case Squad, Crime Scene Unit, and Digital Forensics Unit are investigating this incident.
This is a developing story.
