The NYPD is asking for the public’s help in finding a woman wanted for questioning after a newborn baby girl was found abandoned inside the 34th Street-Penn Station subway station on Monday morning.

Police said the infant, who still had her umbilical cord attached, was discovered around 9:04 a.m. on Oct. 20 on the southbound 1 train platform, wrapped in a blanket.

According to police sources, a good Samaritan spotted the baby lying in the underpass and quickly notified a nearby officer. The officer followed the witness to the child and called for assistance.

Officers transported the newborn in a patrol car to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue for evaluation, and the newborn was reported to be awake and responsive. The baby appeared to have just been born, per police sources.
