A mum has been arrested after dumping her baby with a tramp while she went shopping.
The woman put the homeless man in charge of the eight-week-old girl after spotting him outside a Sainsbury's store and then wandered off with her boyfriend.
After waiting outside the supermarket for more than an hour, the concerned down-and-out handed the child to shocked store staff - who called police.
As officers were interviewing staff, the 35-year-old woman and her 26-year-old partner finally returned looking for the baby. The pair were arrested at the scene.
After examining the baby in the office of the supermarket in Bromley, Kent, ambulance staff took the child to hospital for a check-up before putting her in the care of social services.
