A newborn baby girl is in hospital after being found wrapped in a towel in a shopping bag on a London street, British police said on Friday as the capital was experiencing sub-zero temperatures.
\nThe baby was found by a person walking their dog in Newham, east London, just after 2100 GMT on Thursday, London\u2019s Metropolitan Police said. According to the national weather service, it was minus 3 degrees Celsius in London at that time.
\n\u201cThat person kept the baby girl warm until London Ambulance Service paramedics arrived and checked her over before taking her to hospital,\u201d Chief Superintendent Simon Crick, who leads policing in Newham, said in a statement.
\n\u201cI am delighted to report that she wasn\u2019t injured in any way and is safe and well in the care of hospital staff.\u201d
\nPolice said they were concerned for the welfare of the baby\u2019s mother and appealed for her to get in touch.
