Abandoned Baby Rescued from Sewage Pipe in Zhejiang

A newborn baby flushed down a lavatory headfirst and became lodged in a sewerage pipe has been rescued by Chinese fire fighters.

The abandoned two-day-old child was found in Jinhua, a city in the eastern province of Zhejiang, after residents of a tower block reported hearing crying.

Unable to pull the baby free, firemen were forced to saw off a four-inch wide piece of piping from the floor below and take the infant to hospital still inside the pipe.

The boy, whose 22-year-old mother could now face a charge of attempted homicide, had suffered “severe bruising” but was in a “stable condition” at Pujiang People’s Hospital. He is now healthy enough to leave the hospital, which has been paying his medical bills and accepting donations of clothes, baby formula and other gifts.

He has been named Baby No. 59 after the incubator that he was put in. He is now likely to be handed over to social services.

It was not immediately clear how the baby ended up in the lavatory, but one police source in Jinhua claimed that the woman gave birth unexpectedly when she went to the lavatory on Saturday. She then reportedly phoned the landlord, claiming that she heard “weird noises” in the pipe.

The boy’s mum is said to be in a serious condition due to complications from the delivery. Police are still looking for the boy’s father.
