The condition of a newborn thrown from a Kajang building has turned critical.

Kajang police deputy chief Mohd Sabri Abdullah said that the baby boy was still being treated at the Kajang Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), although he was said to be more stable on Tuesday.

The infant suffered broken bones on the right shoulder, he added.

In the 5pm incident on Monday (June 25), the child was discovered by a restaurant owner with his umbilical cord intact.

He was believed to have been flung from the second floor of a building at Pusat Hentian Kajang.

Police arrested a foreign woman at 11.30pm on the same day in the compound of the Kajang Hospital for investigation.

The woman has been remanded for seven days until Sunday.

The case is being investigated under Section 317 of the Penal Code for concealing a birth with the intent of abandoning an infant.
