Hong Kong police have arrested a domestic helper for suspected child abuse after a five-month-old baby girl was found unconscious at her Yuen Long home.
The force received a report from the girl’s mother at about 7.20pm on Thursday that the infant was unconscious at a residence at Ha San Wai along Castle Peak Road.
Paramedics rushed to the scene and transported the baby girl to Pok Oi Hospital in Yuen Long for emergency resuscitation.
She was subsequently transferred to Tuen Mun Hospital for intensive care and further treatment.
Following a preliminary investigation, police arrested the helper, 43, for alleged child abuse or neglect.
Officers found that the helper had left the baby unattended in the home before she was subsequently found unconscious in bed.
The helper has been taken into custody for further questioning as the investigation continues. -- SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST
