A newborn baby with his umbilical cord still attached was barely breathing when it was found in a dumpster at an apartment complex Tuesday morning, MyFoxHouston.com reported.
The infant was discovered upside down in a trash bag by Carlos Michel, a maintenance man at the complex, after he heard the baby crying, The Houston Chronicle reported.
"It made a big impact," Michel, who is a grandfather, told the paper.
