Residents heard cries of a baby and found the child completely undressed in a bush between houses.
The child was immediately sent to the hospital and according to police, is in good health.
“Pennsylvania has a safe haven law. We obviously want to put that out there. No questions asked. An individual can bring a child to a police officer or a working fireman or a hospital. Obviously, that’s what you should do as long as the child is in good health; there’s really no questions asked,” said Chief of the City of Erie Police Rick Lorah
If you have information, police are asking you to call Detective Sergeant Brian Barber at 814-870-1516.
