The Danbury Police Department said that a new born baby was found behind a grocery store on Sunday night and officers are looking for the mother.

Polcie said that they received a report about a baby found near a grocery store on Main Street at around 11:40 PM.

The caller directed the police officers to the back of the Zaytuna Grocery Store, at 397 Main St. The first responders found the baby wrapped in several pieces of women clothing.

Medical personnel evaluated that the baby was a boy, who was then taken to the neonatal care unit at Danbury hospital were he was treated.

Officers returned to the scene on Wednesday and their investigation is still in full swing.

Investigators stopped at Abdul Waheed’s Fish and Chips Shop.

"The detectives were here looking for video footage from that side of the camera, but they couldn't find anything because the range of the camera is 30 feet only," Waheed said.

The mother could have handed over the baby at the hospital, under Connecticut’s Safe Haven Law. According to the law newborn babies can be handed over at emergency rooms within 30 days of birth without the mother facing charges of abandonment.

Back in the neighborhood, news about the troubling discovery is spreading.

"It's just terrible, we raised four kids, we love our kids," a neighbor said. "How can someone just throw a kid on the street? It's just terrible."

The Danbury Poice Department said in a statement that it is concerned the baby’s mother may need medical treatment or other services, which is why officers are attempting to locate her.

Anyone with information on the newborn or his mother are urged to call police at (203) 797-4662 or (203) 790-TIPS.
