A six-month-old baby girl is being cared for at a children's home after a good Samaritan alerted Durban metro police about the infant who was found abandoned in the Point precinct on Thursday.
Metro police said members were approached by a member of the public regarding the baby at the corner of Tyzack and Gillespie Streets while patrolling.
Upon arrival, officers discovered a six-month-old baby girl lying on boxes with a bag of clothes nearby. The child was immediately taken to hospital, where she was examined and found to be in good health.
