Abandoned baby turned out to be snakes in a bag

A person spotted a strangely shifting bag in a dumster outside a Brooklyn auto body shop, prompting a 911 on Monday afternoon, thinking a baby was inside.



An FDNY ambulance crew responded quickly to Finest Towing & Autobody and soon realized that they weren’t dealing with a newborn in the writhing bag but three Boa constrictors.

Officers from the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit put the snakes, one of which was 6 feet long, the other two approximately 3 feet long, in a large cage and took them to an office for Animal Care & Control.

"This has never happened here before," said Anthony Finest, who has owned the business for 18 years.
