Chen Ling, 60, discovered the baby in the lobby of her Brooklyn apartment building as she was taking out her trash.

"I felt broken-hearted and very concerned for the child," she said. "I hope the parents will realize their mistake for abandoning their child like that."

Ling said she questioned her neighbors but was unable to locate the boy's parents, then called the police.

Police canvassed the area but did not find the parents.

The baby was taken to Lutheran Medical Center, where he was found to be in good health, police said.
