A baby believed to be 2-day-old boy in China was freed from a toilet pipe when he was accidently flushed down the toilet by her mum who didn't know she had given birth while using the toilet, authorities say.
Chinese firefighters and emergency workers located the tiny human being in a sewage pipe beneath a squat toilet in an apartment building in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. The placenta was still attached on the baby when he was found.

Firefighters had to cut the L-shape section of the pipe on Saturday after the cry of a baby was reported by neighbours. Doctors than had to cut the pipe to free the baby before he was given immediate medical attention. The baby is said to be responding to treatment and doing quite well in hospital.
The landlord of the apartment was a little bit sceptical whether the baby was actually born in the toilet, since there was no traces of blood.
Police at first treats the dumping of the baby as an attempted homicide by the mother who was still yet to be found. The mother is unmarried, came forward and made statement to police that she had been concealing her pregnancy and she's the mother that accidently gave birth to baby in toilet.
Police believed her statement, she had since been by her baby's side in the hospital.
