MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) — An investigation is underway after a baby was found at the Penn Station subway station in Manhattan on Monday morning.
An anonymous tip led police to the child at the station on W. 34th Street and 7th Avenue just before 9:30 a.m.
The baby girl, described as a newborn, was found wrapped in a blanket on the staircase leading to the southbound 1/2/3 train platform.
The baby was taken to a local hospital by police and was said to be conscious and alert.
Her condition was described as stable.
New York City Transit President Demetrius Crichlow called that “the miracle on 34th Street.”
“I’m calling it the ‘Miracle on 34th Street’, maybe just a little earlier, we had an infant that was reported anonymously at the 34th Street station, when the FDNY and police department responded, they found a baby that was unattended,” Crichlow said. “The baby was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition, we don’t have any other additional information on top of that, but just grateful for the work of the NYPD for responding and caring for the baby.”
Few other details were released.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
