A newborn baby has been found alive after being placed inside a black bin bag and abandoned on the street.
 

Video posted online shows a group of men and women shocked to find the newborn on the side of the road, still with the umbilical cord attached. Their audible surprise can be heard throughout the video.

The group prepare to take the child out of the bag and in the video, one woman puts on a pair of plastic gloves to take the infant out of the bag.

As they pick the baby up, the infant's arms stretch out. They then place the child in a small blanket which is when they discover the cord is attached as well as the placenta.

Despite the dangers, the baby is believed to have survived.

The footage is believed to have been filmed in Asia but the exact location is currently unknown.
