Newborn baby found abandoned on landing in apartment building in Homyel region

A newborn baby was found abandoned on a landing in an apartment building in Kalinkavichy, a city in the Homyel region, early on Wednesday.

Residents of an apartment were woken up by the infant's screaming and immediately called the police.

According to Svyatlana Urublewskaya, a spokesperson for the Homyel regional police department, the boy, who was properly dressed and wrapped, was found to be an absolutely healthy child, born five or six days before outside a medical institution.

Tenants told the police that they had seen the roll on the landing the previous evening, but they could not imagine that there was a baby in it. //BelaPAN
