On Thursday evening, a baby was found in a rubbish container in Porto Cristo.

Around 6pm, a woman observed a car pull up by some containers. A person got out and dumped something in one of the containers. The woman felt that there was something suspicious. After the car left, she took a look inside the container. There was a baby, believed to be a boy.

There were two people in the car, but it is unclear if the person who put the baby in the container was a man or a woman. The baby was newborn and was covered in towels and blood.
