Lakewood police are asking for the public’s help in identifying an infant who was found abandoned in a yard.
Officers were called at about 1:31 a.m. Monday on a report of a found infant.
The person who found the child was walking past a yard and heard what sounded like an animal in distress.
The person used the flashlight on a phone and found a baby lying in the grass.
