A newborn baby was found abandoned in the bathroom of an Air Mauritius plane after a woman allegedly gave birth mid-flight and dumped the boy in the bin.
Authorities at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport found the newborn during a routine customs check, according to the BBC.
A 20-year-old woman has been arrested, the outlet said.
The woman initially denied she was the mother of the baby, who was discovered when the New Year’s Day flight landed in the Mauritian capital of Port Louis after a flight from Madagascar.

But the unidentified Madagascar mom was ordered to undergo a medical exam, which confirmed that she had just delivered a baby, the BBC reported.
