A newborn baby boy was discovered abandoned, crying near the lift entrance of a BTS Skytrain station in Bangkok. Local authorities and volunteer rescue teams rushed to the scene and took the child to a nearby hospital. Police are now reviewing CCTV footage to locate and prosecute the individual responsible for leaving the infant.

 

At around 3am today, the alarm went off after locals spotted the abandoned infant at the BTS Sena Nikhom station on Phahonyothin Road, Lat Yao Subdistrict, Chatuchak District. The incident occurred just 100 metres away from Paolo Kaset Hospital. The baby, wrapped in a pink towel, was found at the foot of the stairs leading up to the lift.

 

Phatthrapol Siri Mueang, a volunteer at the Ruam Katanyu Foundation, reported that he was informed by the Phahonyothin Radio police centre of citizen sightings seeing someone leaving the child at the scene. They found a newborn male with white skin and visible signs of umbilical cord cutting. It is believed that the mother may have performed the procedure herself. The baby was promptly taken to the Phumipol Adulyadej Hospital for a thorough medical examination and appropriate care.

Instead of finding the mother and offering care and assistance?
