NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 An infant girl was discovered abandoned on the stairs leading to a New York City subway stop in midtown Manhattan on Monday during the busy morning commute.<\/p>\n
New York City Police said they received a 911 call at 9:27 a.m. alerting them to the baby, who was conscious and alert. She was taken to the hospital and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n
The infant was found at the 34th Street-Penn Station subway stop on the stairs leading to the southbound subway platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m calling it the \u2018Miracle on 34th Street,\u201d Demetrius Crichlow, president of MTA New York City Transit, told reporters, alluding to the classic Christmas movie. He said the infant was reported by an anonymous caller.<\/p>\n
New York has a law that allows a parent to relinquish a newborn up to 30 days old at a hospital, or staffed police or fire station without fear of being prosecuted.<\/p>\n
