Newborn found in Houston dumpster: Police rescue caught on video
A newborn with an uncut umbilical cord was found in a dumpster last Sunday (July 21) in Houston. A breathtaking video showing officers pulling the baby out from between cartons and wrapping him in a blanket brings tears to the eyes.
The recording, aired on the American channel ABC13, caused a great stir among viewers. It shows police officers, with the help of paramedics, pulling a tiny boy from the dumpster located behind an apartment building.
The medics' assessment indicates that the abandoned child is a newborn. According to the "Daily Mail," the baby still had an uncut umbilical cord at the time of discovery.
According to an employee of the residential building, the child was born by one of the food truck workers parked next to the property.
Testimonies from nearby residents indicated that the food truck was parked there for only a few hours that day.
Now, the Houston Police Department is investigating the truck where the child's mother supposedly worked. The boy was examined in a hospital and is in good condition.
It turns out that this is not the only similar incident recently. Less than a day after the shocking discovery, next to the food truck, police officers in Pasadena found a two-month-old baby.
