Couple leave newborn baby in taxi on way home from hospital

A couple left their newborn baby in a taxi as they brought the child home from hospital for the first time.

The parents got out of the vehicle with their eldest child, aged one, but forgot to remove their new baby from the back seat.

According to Police through Facebook post said that the couple had paid the driver and said goodbye before realising what they had done.

The father reportedly ran after the taxi but the vehicle drove away too quickly.

The parents immediately alerted the police.

The baby apparently made no sound so the taxi driver did not realise the child was in the back for some time.

However, the new passenger was a bit confused about the already present passengers and made the taxi driver aware of the baby.

The driver reportedly called the police to report the discovery.

Meanwhile, the baby was examined by an ambulance crew before it was reunited with the family.
