The
dramatic rescue began after cries were heard from a fourth-floor apartment
toilet.
Alarmed
neighbors heard the sounds and saw a tiny foot inside a ceramic bowl. There was
a baby inside.
They
called the fire department in the Chinese city of Jinhua, state broadcaster
CCTV reported.
Unable
to pull the infant out out, rescuers went to the floor below and sawed away an
entire section of sewer pipe.
But
still, the baby was stuck, so both the section of pipe and the infant were
taken to a local hospital.
Working
together, rescuers and doctors began removing the pipe, piece by piece, as
shown in video from CCTV.
It
shows the exact moment hands in white gloves gingerly pulled away a part of the
pipe, revealing the tiny face of a newborn.
The
afterbirth was still attached.
CCTV
reported the infant, a baby boy, was rescued Saturday. He is in stable
condition.
No
one has come forward yet to claim the child, and police say they are looking
for his parents.
Jinhua
police issued an appeal on the social media website Weibo.
"Mom,
come back! The baby is resilient and alive. Please show up, Mom. This is your
own baby and he should return to your warm embrace soon."
