The mother of the newborn baby girl left abandoned in a tote bag outside a Bronx building over the weekend is facing criminal charges, authorities said.
Delfina Galvez, 26, turned herself in late Monday after the NYPD released surveillance footage showing the person believed to have dumped the infant on a rain-drenched sidewalk outside a Morrisania building early Sunday, cops said.
Galvez was charged with reckless endangerment, acting in a manner injurious to a child and abandonment of a child.
Her tiny daughter, who appears to be only a few days old, was left alone outside the building on Reverend James Polite Avenue near East 167th Street around 6 a.m., swaddled in blankets inside the tote bag, cops said.
