| Baby Harry & Park |
A new-born baby - named Harry by medical staff - was abandoned in an east London park last Sunday morning.
Police were called at 8.20am to Balaam Street, Plaistow after a member of the public found the baby.
Today the Metropolitan Police have released a photograph of the new-born, who was carefully wrapped in a white blanket, in the hope his mother will come forward.
An ambulance was also called to the scene and the baby was taken to a local hospital, where he continues to be cared for.
Detective Inspector Ian Baker said: “Baby Harry is doing well under the care of hospital staff, but we are very worried about his mother.
“If you see this appeal, please come forward and let us know you are safe.
“I know you must be feeling very frightened and alone to have done what you did, but please make contact with us or your local hospital or GP surgery so they can check you are okay and offer you medical care and support.
“Little Harry needs to be reunited with his mother so we would urge anyone else with information, or who saw anything out of the ordinary in the Balaam Street area on Sunday morning to please come forward.”
Anyone who can help is asked to call police on 020 8217 6528 or via 101.
