A HOMELESS man hunting for food in a wheelie-bin in Ourense (Galicia) found a newborn baby – alive and well.
He discovered the infant at aroun 16.00 yesterday (Sunday) near number 20 of the C/ Río Bibei in the far north-western city, wrapped in a blanket.
The finder called over another two passers-by to help him dig the child out of the bin.
It was a boy, of around two kilos (4.4lb) in weight, with the umbilical cord still attached and only just born, at around 37 weeks of gestation.
The street-dweller borrowed a mobile phone to call the emergency services, and the baby was taken to Ourense University Hospital Complex (CHUO).
