A man in Southwest China was caught on a surveillance camera throwing a newborn baby wrapped in white paper into a dustbin, according to a video circulating online Thursday.

The man in Xuanwei, Yunnan province was found to be the father of the newborn and was arrested. The mother was also arrested for deserting the baby but was released on bail.

Fortunately, the naked child was quickly discovered by a woman who went home to get clothes for it. At the same time, passersby called the police.

The police used the surveillance tape to find the father.
