An 8-month-old baby who was found in a dumpster with burns on her body yesterday is now in stable condition and police are still working to determine why she was left there.

The woman police said is responsible for leaving the baby girl in the dumpster is in police custody in New Haven.

New Haven police said the woman in custody is not the mother of the 8-month-old baby, who was found with burns on her.

Authorities said that woman is 24-years-old, from Hamden, and she is not the child's mother.

Investigators said they are still trying to figure out who is responsible for burning both of the baby's hands.

The child is being treated at Yale New Haven Children's Hospital where police said she is in stable condition.

A maintenance worker at the Presidential Gardens, an apartment complex on Dixwell Avenue, said a tenant was throwing away trash and heard the infant's cries.

Maintenance workers found an 8-month-old girl abandoned in a dumpster at an apartment building in New Haven on Monday afternoon.

"He stepped away from the trash can, and he heard something crying. He turned around and looked in. There was a little baby that had trash on top of it," maintenance worker Rick Chardon said.

"[He] got in there, called for one of our other maintenance workers over to help him get it out, got it out, as I pulled in they handed her over to me," he added.

Chardon said the baby girl was responsive, but cold when she was found. "She was shivering like crazy when I got her in my arms," he said.

"Whoever did that to her, they should be punished severely," said maintenance worker Rick Chardon. "Total disregard for life. I'll never forget it,” he added.

Officers found the baby's mother and have remained in contact with her.
