Harris County Sheriff's Office investigators said Thursday morning that an hours-old infant girl was found safe in the 17700 block of Red Oak Drive on Houston's north side at the Bridges of Cypress Creek apartment complex.
According to KTRK-TV the infant was apparently abandoned by her mother. The child was found covered in ants in a series of bushes early Thursday after a man reported he heard crying.
A tweet from the sheriff's office said that a female was being detained in connection with the incident.
The 21-year-old mother was found after officials found a trail of blood leading back to her apartment, officials said. The baby was transported to Texas Children's Hospital in The Woodlands.
