A New York City woman has been charged after she allegedly abandoned her newborn daughter on the doorstep of a Bronx imam last weekend.
Police said Delfina Galvez lives near Mamadou Hafiz Jallow’s home and was caught on surveillance footage walking down the street to his home, carrying a green tote.
Jallow returned home from his mosque to find the baby girl wrapped in blankets inside the tote bag on his doorstep.
