NEW YORK - A baby was found abandoned Monday in a subway station, CBS New York reported.
The incident occurred just after noon Monday at the Columbus Circle subway station.
Police said a woman, believed to be in her 20s, was on a northbound No. 1 train with a baby in a stroller.
When the train arrived at the station, the woman pushed the stroller onto the platform, police said. The doors closed and the train left the station.
The baby girl, who police said is 7 months old, was taken to Roosevelt Hospital for evaluation.
The baby was wearing a white and red top, black leggings and a diaper when she was found alone on the platform by a 33-year-old woman, who waited with the child for the woman to return, sources told CBS New York.
The woman never did come back.
Police said there were no apparent signs of trauma. The baby had a bandage on her hand and a slight rash, but was otherwise unhurt, sources said.
The child will be placed in Administration for Children's Services custody until her identity is established. There was nothing with her to identify her, sources said.
Police are searching for the woman who left her.
