  • A six-month-old baby girl was discovered abandoned in Times Square, New York, late on Tuesday night.
  • Police responded to a 911 call and found the child alone in a pram near West 44th Street and Seventh Avenue.
  • The baby was conscious and alert and was subsequently taken to Northwell Greenwich Village Hospital for evaluation.
