A baby boy was found alive Tuesday after being stuffed into a trash bin outside an apartment building in Singapore – and police are now looking for his parents.

The newborn was discovered inside a blood-stained plastic bag by a town cleaner in the Bedok neighborhood, according to The Straits Times. Police reported him to be in stable condition with no visible injuries.

"Had the worker not found the blessed child, he could have been crushed by the compactor where all rubbish is centrally disposed in the precinct," Pritam Singh, the leader of the local Workers' Party political group, wrote in a Facebook post.
