The Boston Globe is reporting that BPD recovered an abandoned infant in the Lower Mills around 1:15pm on Friday. The call came in with the address of 2262 Dorchester Ave.
A woman told WCVB-TV that she heard crying coming from a trash barrel when she was walking down Dot Ave. An EMT was in the area and retrieved a plastic bag from the trash, cutting the bag open and a newborn was found inside.
According to WCVB, the mother was located in Milton and taken to a hospital by ambulance.
This is an active investigation.
