MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis police say officers rescued a hypothermic baby they found abandoned in a stolen car.
Police were dispatched to a residential area in south Minneapolis Tuesday, where they found the stolen car with a baby boy alone inside. He was not in a car seat and was not dressed for the cold, according to police.
Emergency responders took the crying baby to the Hennepin County Medical Center to be treated for hypothermia. Police said his condition was not life-threatening.
MPD says the car was stolen on Monday in Alexandria, while the keys were inside. A 60-year-old woman who lives just outside of Alexandria in the town of Nelson owns the car.
Police said investigators know the baby and mother's identities but haven't said how the baby ended up in the car.
