Popeye...Or Santa?

Alabama police are trying to find out who left a baby in a bag along a busy intersection. The boy was discovered Tuesday morning in a green sack by a man checking his mailbox in Bessemer, Ala.

Sgt. Darren Hunter said the boy is between two weeks and a month old and is now in the custody of the Alabama Department of Human Resources.

Powell Dabbs told MyFOXAL.com that he heard a grunt coming from what he thought was a bag of trash near a fire hydrant. The baby boy was wearing a hat and covered in a blanket, and a bottle and pacifier were also in the bag.

Local police have no leads as to who left the child by the side of the road.

“I’m still flabbergasted by the whole thing," Dabbs told MyFOXAL.com. "I’ve lived in the South all my life, and I always thought this stuff happened up North. Not down here.”
