Baby rescued from fire
A baby was rescued from a burning apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
According to published reports, the man was described as Hispanic, heavyset, with short black hair and wearing a black, long-sleeved T-shirt and block jogger-style pants.
The Safe Haven law in Connecticut allows parents to leave a newborn baby younger than 30 days at an emergency room without penalty of abandonment.
Anyone who has information on the man’s identity, whereabouts, or vehicle is asked to contact Det. Matthew Hogan at 860-896-3236.
