Baby Found Alone in Times Square Stroller

Investigators say they know the father's identity.

Overview

  • A baby girl found in a stroller near West 44th Street and Broadway around 11 p.m. Tuesday was conscious and taken to Northwell Greenwich Village Hospital in stable condition.
  • NYPD detectives are reviewing surveillance video and canvassing the area, and said Thursday they know the father's identity but have not located him.
  • The child is now in the care of the city's Administration for Children's Services as the investigation continues.
  • Outlets differ on the girl's age and some reported claims, including an overturned stroller, a subway dispute and possible homelessness, remain unconfirmed by police.
  • New York’s safe-surrender law covers only newborns up to 30 days old, so abandoning an older child can be prosecuted as a felony.
