A foetus has been found in a box outside a north London hospital, with police urging the mother to come forward out of concern for her wellbeing
The abandoned foetus, which was 16 weeks old, was discovered outside Barnet Hospital on Monday. Police were called to the scene shortly after 9am.
Detective Inspector Matt Coad said: “At this moment, our priority is to ensure that the mother is ok and that she receives the appropriate medical attention. Police said they are treating the issue as unexplained, and officers are urging the mother to come forward as they are worried about her welfare.
“This is likely to be a traumatic time for her, and I would ask that she makes contact either with us, her local GP or a hospital. “We believe that the box was left by a man, aged in 30s, who was wearing dark clothing. I would also encourage him to come forward so that we can help.”
