Police say the 4-month-old baby girl was found in a stroller in Pelham Gardens at the intersection of Mace Avenue and Eastchester Road just before 6 a.m.

Officials say the baby was left when a woman walked away from her without saying a word. People who found the baby remained at the scene.

Police conducted a canvas of the area, which led to a woman being apprehended about a 10-minute walk from the scene.
