Local Editor

The picture of a heroic Chinese cop rescuing a newborn baby girl, who was dumped in the pipe of a public toilet in Beijing, has captured a lot of hearts. The baby survived and is now recovering in a local hospital.

A police station in western Beijing received a call from locals who said they heard baby crying in the public toilet. The officer Qian Feng immediately rushed to the scene and discovered the tiny infant.

"The baby's head was pointing downwards and her whole body had already fallen into the drain. We could only see the baby's feet from the side," Qian Feng told the Beijing Times.

The baby was wrapped in a towel and taken to a near-by hospital. According to Chinese media reports, the infant is healthy and is now recovering.

Police evidence indicated that the baby was born in the toilet and abandoned there. Beijing police are now trying to establish the identity of the baby's mother.

This is not the first "miracle" baby rescue in China. In 2013, a newborn baby boy was dumped in a toilet and had to be cut free by firefighters in Zhejiang. The infant suffered cuts and bruises but survived.
