newborn baby boy is alive after spending 40 hours in sewer in apartment building in Alicante, Spain. Firefighters rescued baby from under manhole cover. child was wrapped in plastic bag with a hole in it so he could breathe. man from apartment building called police after he heard sound coming from sewer. He told reporters his story of what happened, saying: "I thought it was cat that was trapped and that baby’s crying was its meowing. noise went on for ages so I called police. One of firefighters saw one of his tiny feet and realised it wasn't cat but child." baby boy, who weighs 2.1kg, is now safe in hospital. He has broken arm and few other injuries.

Spanish police arrested 26-year-old mother of baby soon after he was found. She is being charged with attempted murder for trying to kill her son. Police have not yet named woman. Police officers said she went to local hospital after she gave birth and told nurses she had suffered miscarriage. She then told police that she pushed her baby down drain because she was too poor to pay for abortion. Police are now trying to find out if she acted alone or if someone helped her. Last month, emergency workers in eastern China had to rescue newborn baby after it became stuck in sewer pipe. Its mother tried to give birth in secret and said baby slipped down toilet.
