The baby, found naked and bruised with sand in his mouth, was found by a woman at about 6 am on Tuesday and was sent to a hospital. The infant survived after emergency treatment and is now in a stable condition.
"The little buddy is very strong,” a spokesman for the local police station said. “Because he was born the night before typhoon Kalmaegi hit, [we] named him Haiou [“seagull” in Chinese].”
The case is being investigated by police.
