This Could Be the Most Important Video Gun Owners Watch All Year

About 30 minutes before the discovery, an unidentified individual entered the subway station, placed the baby on the ground, and left on foot, officials said.

The video released by the NYPD shows a woman walking near 7th Avenue and 34th Street in Midtown — not far from where the baby was found. She can be seen holding a bundle wrapped in white cloths as she walks along the sidewalk.

Investigators said the woman was wearing pink pants, a red headscarf, and glasses at the time.

Authorities believe the woman in the video may have information relevant to the investigation and are seeking the public’s help identifying her.

Police officers responding to the scene transported the newborn to Bellevue Hospital, where she was reported to be conscious, alert, and in stable condition.

Law enforcement officials have not made any arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing. Detectives from the NYPD’s Special Victims Division are leading the case, which remains a high priority given the infant’s condition and the circumstances under which she was found.
