Beaten 3-year-old boy dies after he’s dumped at NYC hospital as cops launch manhunt for parents
Police are searching for the parents of a badly beaten 3-year-old boy who died after being dumped at a Brooklyn hospital Sunday morning.
Staff inside the emergency room were shaken by what had happened.
“I heard that some lady bringing in a baby, lifeless,” a hospital staffer told PIX11 News. “And when they tried to get more, asked what happened, she just left. She just took off. She had a car parked, waiting for her. And they just left.”
Police were checking surveillance cameras and interviewing staff inside the hospital throughout the day. Investigations are ongoing.
