Ivic simply said she was grateful to be able to help, according to the statement. Police eventually reunited the baby with his father.

The child’s mother, who may have been suffering from a mental health crisis, left the helpless infant outside, the transit service said in a statement. “I’m shaking,” Ivic said as she held the little boy in her arms at the driver’s seat.Īnother passenger handed over her coat to help bundle up the infant - and before long, he fell asleep in Ivic’s arms, who is shown lightly kissing him on the head.

Ivic stopped her bus, darted across the street, picked up the crying child and carried him onto her bus, where passengers could be heard saying, “Oh my God!” The barefoot tot, seen wearing only a red onesie and diaper in the below-freezing temperatures, was scurrying alone along the overpass.
