The infant was said to be naked and had lacerations about the body. However he has miraculously survived the ordeal.
After the child was spotted the police were informed, and ranks of the Albion Police Station raced to the scene where the child was picked up and rushed to the New Amsterdam hospital. He was examined by doctors and subsequently placed in the Paediatric Ward for further observation.
A source at the hospital stated that the child will be kept for further observation and social workers will be in charge of his welfare.
No one has so far come forward to claim the child.
