| Doctors working carefully to remove baby from pipe |
The miracle baby was rescued from the THREE INCH wide damp pipe -
located directly underneath a public loo - after passers-by heard it crying.
Police are treating the case as attempted murder and are hunting the parents
in the strict communist state which bans couples from having more than one
child.
China's state broadcaster CCTV said the abandoned infant was found under a
residential building in Jinhua in the wealthy coastal province of Zhejiang.

Firefighters had to remove the pipe, reported to be 10cm in diameter, and take
it to a nearby hospital.
Doctors had to carefully cut around the tube for nearly an hour before
reaching the 5lb (2.3kg) boy.
Chinese media said the child - named Baby No 59 from the number of his
incubator - is safe and in a stable condition.
Amazing video footage of the rescue was broadcast nationally overnight.

The news triggered hundreds of thousands of comments on China's hugely popular
Weibo social media network.
One user said: "
I can never accept or forgive the behaviour of dumping
the baby with his placenta and umbilical cord attached into the toilet pipe."
"Can these people be called human beings? The animal to human ratio among
the grown-ups is rising inexorably."

There are frequent reports in Chinese media of babies being abandoned - with
the problem being attributed to China's strict family planning rules.
