“Incredible” is a much over-used superlative, but what else could describe the rescue of a three-month-old baby from a sewer in Mexico City?

Alicia Tejada Ramos, a local resident of the Toriello Guerra neighborhood of Mexico City, told the Mirror newspaper that she heard crying below the ground.

“I ignored the sound for a little while but when I realised the baby was clearly not being attended to, I looked at the window but couldn’t see anything,” she said. Ramos added, “I went outside and then I realised that the sound was coming from under my feet in the sewer. I was really shocked, and called police and emergency services immediately.”

Police opened up the sewer where they found a baby (whose sex has not been disclosed) estimated to be about three-months-old.



Although suffering from hypothermia, the baby appeared to be doing well and is expected to make a full recovery, medics said.
