According to Vacchiano, upon approaching the woman, the employees saw her remove her pants and give birth to a baby. Thereafter, the woman placed the newborn on the ground, cut the umbilical cord, and immediately ran away from the scene.

Fortunately, the onlookers rushed to the baby who appeared to be healthy. One bystander wrapped the baby up in the mother’s pants, while others brought a blanket and an apron. The baby was then transported to a hospital and is in stable condition to date.
