Police are investigating after a newborn baby girl was left abandoned Monday morning at a subway station in Midtown<\/a> Manhattan<\/a>, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Officers from the NYPD\u2019s Midtown South Precinct<\/a> responded to a 911 call shortly before 9:30 a.m. reporting an infant at the 34th Street-Penn Station stop below 7th Avenue, police said.<\/p>\n

Officials said the infant was found awake and responsive, wrapped in a blanket at the base of a staircase that leads to the 1\/2\/3 train platform.\n<\/p>\n

Emergency responders took the newborn to a nearby hospital for evaluation, where her condition was described as stable. Fox 5<\/a> reported that the baby was discovered with her umbilical cord still attached.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police said the circumstances surrounding the discovery remain under investigation, and they are reviewing the station\u2019s security footage to determine who left the infant unattended.\n<\/p>\n

Under New York State\u2019s Abandoned Infant Protection Act, parents may surrender an infant up to 30 days old without facing criminal charges, provided the child is left safely at a designated location such as a hospital, police precinct or fire station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 34th Street\u2013Penn Station stop on the 1\/2\/3 subway lines in Midtown where police are investigating after a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9621,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[8056,8057,75,84,83,9,24,63,103],"class_list":["post-9620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-34th-streetu2014penn-station-subway-station","tag-abandoned-baby","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-nypd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
