A 6 to 7 months-old girl was abandoned on the back seat of a livery cab in Queens Thursday morning by a man, who is being looked for by the police.

The livery driver, Klever Sailema, 45, an Ecuadorian immigrant, took the baby girl to a firehouse. She was subsequently taken to St. John’s Hospital in Queens where she is being taken care of. According to Dr. Kenneth Berry of the hospital emergency department, she is “in good condition-excellent condition. She appeared to be well-cared-for.”

The baby and her parents have not been identified yet. The authorities are trying to determine whether the man who abandoned her was a relative.

The livery driver said that he picked up the man and the girl Thursday before 10 a.m., at the corner of Northern Blvd and 106th St. in Corona. The man said he wanted to go to Manhattan, Sailema informs. When reaching Northern Blvd. and 83rd St. the man asked the driver to pull over, as he wanted to make a call from a pay phone. He got out of the car, crossed the street, walked to the phone, and then ran away.

The driver realized that the man left the baby girl on the back seat of the livery cab. She had been left with a bag of baby food and clothes. The driver took the girl to the nearest firehouse, Engine 289 on 43rd Ave., New York Daily News reports.

The girl was than taken to St. John’s Hospital in Queens. The baby, named “Lourdes” by the medical staff, will be in the care of the Administration of Children’s Services, until she is placed in a foster family. In New York State a parent is allowed to leave a newborn in a safe place such as a firehouse or a hospital without facing charges of abandonment, but only if the baby is left within five days of birth, the New York Times reports.
