Video footage has emerged showing the moment a woman abandoned her newborn in a plastic bag behind a supermarket moments after giving birth.
The tot was rushed to hospital with hypothermia when concerned members of the public made the discovery yesterday.
The baby's condition there remains serious.
It is believed the 36-year-old mother, who has two other children, gave birth in a nearby bush alone and cut the umbilical cord herself.
Distressing footage is now being used in the police investigation.
It appears to show the mum leave the child in a bag behind the supermarket in Cheremshan, southwest Russia.
