Homeless man finds healthy newborn in wheelie-bin
18/09/2017
A HOMELESS man hunting for food in a wheelie-bin in Ourense (Galicia) found a newborn baby – alive and well.
He discovered the infant at aroun 16.00 yesterday (Sunday) near number 20 of the C/ Río Bibei in the far north-western city, wrapped in a blanket.
The finder called over another two passers-by to help him dig the child out of the bin.
It was a boy, of around two kilos (4.4lb) in weight, with the umbilical cord still attached and only just born, at around 37 weeks of gestation.
The street-dweller borrowed a mobile phone to call the emergency services, and the baby was taken to Ourense University Hospital Complex (CHUO).
Today (Monday), medics confirmed the infant was in good health, out of danger and had been placed with a foster couple.
Police are searching for the baby's biological mother.
