Student Jimmy, who was just 22 at the time, scooped the tot up and took him home to his mother, Elicie Jean, 66, where they cleaned him up and fed him milk, before seeking a doctor.

He said: “People were crowding around this bin and I heard them arguing about what to do with this tiny baby. Everyone was just staring at him - not a single soul wanted to help.
