A baby boy was rushed to hospital and saved by rescue workers Saturday morning, after he was found dumped in a rubbish bin in Beijing’s Haidian District.
The baby’s father was arrested for alleged murder of the baby boy.
The Beijing Times reported Monday that the baby boy only weighted about 800g. He was rescued by staff at the Beijing Emergency Medical Centre, and immediately rushed to the Peking University Third Hospital for treatment.
