Police have released a picture of a car they believe is connected to a baby girl found abandoned in a North York shopping plaza stairwell Wednesday afternoon.
"We are actively looking for this car and doing everything we can," Staff Sgt. Don Cole said at a press conference Wednesday.
The car is described as a 1997 - 2000 model green four-door Ford Escort.
Authorities are appealing to the public to help them identify the girl, believed to be about eight months old.
The baby was found by a shopper at around 12:30 p.m. At first the shopper thought the infant was a discarded doll but then the child began to cry.
Police said they fear the baby may have been abused as there were minor bruises on her body.
"There are scrapes and bruises, and a considerable amount of her body is involved in that," Cole said.
"I'm appealing to the parents to come forward," he continued. "Let us know who you are, let us know you're all right and this can be sorted out."
The girl is described as being black with a light complexion. She was wearing a green and white snowsuit with a pink jumper underneath when she was found.
