Newborn boy found on doorstep of North Side home
A newborn boy was reported in good condition Tuesday morning after a resident who found him abandoned outside a North Side home brought him to a nearby Chicago firehouse.
The child was left on a doorstep outside a residence in the 4600 block of North Beacon Street sometime between 2 and 2:30 a.m., authorities said.
"A gentlemen was laying in bed, heard a baby crying and after awhile went out to see what was going on and found a baby outside in a grocery bag," Chicago Fire Department spokesman Joe Roccasalva said.
The man scooped up the child and took him to the firehouse in the 1200 block of West Wilson Avenue. Paramedics checked out the baby and took him to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
