As South Africans find themselves focusing on the civil unrest in the country, a newborn baby has narrowly escaped certain death thanks to a homeless man doing his rounds.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, 11 July 2021, Emer-G-Med paramedics were called to assist Durban Metro Police Services after a homeless man made a shocking discovery while dumpster diving outside Boscombe Place in the South Beach area.
Emer-G-Med said, “Paramedics responded to the scene and found a newborn baby girl in the dustbin, still attached to her umbilical cord and placenta.”
The baby was treated and stabilised on the scene, before being taken to a nearby hospital for further care. Emer-G-Med adds, “She remains in a stable condition and good spirits. We commend the homeless gentleman for alerting authorities and ultimately saving this little lady’s life.”
