A baby girl less than an hour old was found in a shopping bag in sub-freezing temperatures in East London by a dog walker, police said.
The abandoned newborn, who hospital staff named Elsa after the main character in the Disney film “Frozen,” was found at the intersection of the Greenway and High Street South in Newham by a dog walker.
The dog walker heard the child crying and later found it in the bag, according to Metropolitan Police Chief Superintendent Simon Crick.
The Metropolitan Police said the baby was less than an hour old and was found wrapped in a blanket inside the shopping bag at around 9.15pm.
The temperature dropped to a bitter 24 degrees Fahrenheit and dog walkers “kept the baby girl warm” until an ambulance arrived.
“I am happy to report that he was not injured in any way,” Chief Superintendent Simon Crick told a news conference. He also revealed that the baby is healthy.

Crick said the dog walker did not know how long the baby had been left there and encouraged the mother to come forward for help.
“We are very concerned for his welfare because he is going through a traumatic experience,” Crick said. He said the mother most likely needed medical attention after the birth and advised her that “no matter what your situation is, please get help.”
Police are looking into CCTV cameras around the busy junction and are encouraging anyone who sees something to come forward.
Last month, a couple adopted a Florida baby who had been abandoned in the woods an hour after his birth.
A baby, who hospital staff have named Elsa because she was found in freezing temperatures, was found at the junction of the Greenway and High Street South in Newham by a dog walker.
The baby was found still attached to the placenta after nearby residents heard her cries.
The neighbor thought it was a cat screaming, but after the crying started again, he went outside and determined it was a human cry.
The child was wrapped in “several old blankets” and he was found in temperatures in the 50s.
