A woman has been arrested on suspicion of wilful neglect after a newborn baby was found in a toilet at a Sports Direct warehouse.

The baby boy was discovered on New Years’ Day and was rushed to hospital where he is in a serious but stable condition.

The boy’s mother, who is believed to be from Eastern Europe and in her 20s, was also treated in hospital.

Paramedics who attended the call at the retailer’s UK distribution centre, in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, have passed the incident to police.

It is not known who found the baby, who is now being cared for at a specialist neo-natal unit in Leicester.
