Investigators determined that the infant’s mother had just given birth in the bathtub, and then tossed the baby out the bathroom window, according to the Post.
When contacted by DailyMail.com, the NYPD declined to identify the woman or address claims the baby was thrown from a bathroom window, citing an ongoing investigation.
The woman is said to have undergone a medical evaluation at Jamaica Hospital, before being transferred to the police precinct.
She will likely be charged with attempted murder, attempted manslaughter, assault, reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence, abandonment of a child and endangering welfare of a child, sources said.
A spokesperson for the NYPD said additional details will be made available in the case shortly.
Authorities were alerted by a woman who lives next door to where the baby was found.
She told dispatchers that she had stepped outside of her home to empty the trash when she heard the baby’s cries from down the side of a neighboring property.
The woman told the Post on Monday that she knows the baby's mother but 'didn't notice she was pregnant'.
