A pregnant woman was caught giving birth in an elevator and then discarded the newborn in a trash bin in southern China.

CCTV footage filmed in Chongqing on August 21, shows a woman dressed in black overalls entering an elevator with a suitcase. Within moments, she cradles a newborn baby from beneath her trouser leg.

As the elevator stopped at various floors, she hurriedly wiped away the blood from the infant and the elevator floor with tissues, appearing anxious. To avoid being seen by people on those floors, she tried to conceal the baby in a corner of the elevator.

Two minutes later, she exited the elevator, leaving the infant in a trash bin nearby, making a feeble attempt to cover the baby with a few tissues.

An elderly passerby noticed her odd behaviour and glanced in her direction, but didn’t spot anything unusual. Following this, the woman cleaned her shoes with more tissues and took another elevator to leave the scene.

An insider reveals, "After the baby was discovered by a security guard, emergency services were called immediately, and the baby was rushed to a nearby hospital."

Mr Wang, a security guard at Chongqing’s Fifth Hospital, witnessed the baby's arrival at the hospital. He recounted, "That night, I saw the paramedics from the Wujing Hospital bringing the baby to our hospital. I heard that the woman was touring Chongqing with a travel group. Shortly after, both the woman and the tour guide arrived at the hospital, and the police also came to take statements."

Responding to the incident on August 25, the local police station stated, "We have intervened in the matter. The child is safe and sound. Due to privacy concerns, we cannot disclose further details at this time."

8月21日，重庆市南岸区，一孕妇在电梯内产子，随后将孩子扔进电梯外的垃圾桶内。
电梯监控视频显示，8月21日20时44分，身着黑色背带裤的女子拉着行李箱进入电梯，几十秒后，她从裤腿里抱出一个婴儿，随后不停抽取纸巾擦拭婴儿身上的血迹，和地面的污渍。电梯门打开停靠在其他楼层时，，她为了避免被旁人发现，几次将婴儿放到电梯的隐蔽角落里。
2分钟后，她走出电梯，将婴儿扔进电梯旁的垃圾桶内，并用几张纸巾遮盖。这时，一位老人路过，感觉女子行为怪异，颇为怀疑地查看，但没有未发现异样。随后，女子再次擦拭鞋底的污渍后，乘坐另一部电梯离开现场。
知情人称，保安发现婴儿后，立即拨打120，将其送往附近医院。
重庆市五院的一名保安王先生，目击了婴儿送院的经过，他介绍：“那天晚上我看到武警医院的车把婴儿送到（我们）医院来了，听说产妇是跟一个旅行团来重庆旅游。随后产妇和导游都来了，还有警察过来做了笔录。”
