Newborn baby — with umbilical cord still attached — abandoned outside luxury NYC condo: cops

A newborn baby boy was found abandoned — with his umbilical cord still attached — outside a luxury Chelsea condo building and under the iconic High Line park, authorities said.

Two doormen from the HL23 building on West 23rd Street near 10th Avenue found the naked child at the base of a High Line support beam around 3:10 a.m. Thursday and flagged down an EMS unit from Station 7, just across the street, according to cops and sources.

“The umbilical cord was still attached,” said EMT Mia Chin, whose shift was up when she jumped into action with partner Patrick Feimer.

“It was a fresh delivery,” Chin, 26, told reporters in a briefing on Thursday. “It probably happened moments before. The doorman who informed us about it said it happened just 30 seconds before our arrival to the station.”

“When I approached the child it was crying and cooing and waving, and I was just so happy that the child was alive.”

The EMTs rushed the child to the station for care, before he was transported to Bellevue Hospital conscious and alert, with no apparent injuries, cops and sources said.

“I’m very happy to report that the infant is doing well and will survive,” FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh told reporters during a briefing, praising the EMT’s snap response.

“Even though they were actually coming off of a shift, they did exactly what our members of EMS do all the time,” Kavanagh said.

“They’re always on no matter where they are. They’re always ready to help no matter what’s happening, and they always run straight towards the danger or the emergency no matter what they might be faced with. And they did exactly that.”

The child’s mother, 37-year-old Ayata Swann, was charged with abandonment of a child and was being held at Bellevue for treatment. An address linked to her name matches a Manhattan shelter for families and children experiencing homelessness.

Swann had given birth to the baby around 2 a.m., sources said. Blood was splattered along the sidewalk near where the child was found.

During her briefing, Kavanagh reminded the public of New York’s safe haven law.

“If you have an infant or a child that you cannot care for, for any reason at all, you can bring them to a firehouse, police station or an EMS station, and you can leave that infant without question,” Kavanagh said.

“If you are in the middle of an emergency of any kind and you can’t care for your child or your infant, please make sure you do bring your child somewhere where it will be safe and we’ll take care of it and we will not ask any additional questions.”

The state’s Abandoned Infant Protection Act permits a parent to leave an infant up to 30 days old at a “suitable location” — including a hospital or staffed police or fire station — without being prosecuted.

The parent must promptly notify an “appropriate person” of the child’s location.

“This is shocking to me,” said Cedric Fraser, super of the building whose doorman spotted the child. “Somebody threw the baby right here and she ran away, just ran away. And the rain? It was raining all night.

“There are a lot of pregnant mothers on the streets, homeless. This one was about to deliver, and there were so many places she could have gone for help — the EMTs, the police,” Fraser said.

“She could have gone to the hospital. I don’t know why she didn’t. If any mother came out here and saw that, they’d say, ‘Oh my God.’ I’d like to see this woman, talk to this woman, and understand why she did what she did.”

Feimer said he and Chin were completely “caught off guard” when the call came in about the child.

“She was done for the night,” Feimer said of Chin. “And getting a knock on your window like that, you don’t know what you’re going to walk into. So we just ran over, tried to assess the situation, and when we saw it that’s when we snapped into action.”

Chin insisted it was all in a day’s work for a city EMT.

“I don’t feel like a hero. I feel like me and Patrick worked as a team to bring this child where they could get actual intensive care.”
