A newborn girl was rescued by emergency workers moments after she was delivered by her mother, who tossed her out of her apartment and left her wedged between two building walls in Mexico City.
According to Mexican news outlet Noticieros Televisa, authorities discovered the lifeless body of a newborn, believed to be her twin brother, on a pile of garbage outside the home Tuesday night.
Their mother, identified as Jacqueline, was under arrest and hospitalized at a medical facility in the borough of Benito Juárez. The woman's husband, Jose, remains at-large.
Video of the rescue mission released by the Secretariat of Public Security showed the moment firefighters pulled the baby to safety after drilling through a wall at a home in Iztacalco after several hours of work.
Rescue workers arrived at the single-story house after residents reported loud crying noises.
The girl still had her umbilical cord attached when she was discovered lying in a nine-foot deep hole surrounded by pipes and bricks.

The search and rescue team had to enter a neighbor's home and cut through the property's wall in order to reach the baby without harming her.
Medical tests showed that the newborn had early signs of hypothermia.
Paramedic Eloísa Herrera, a mother-of-two who has been a rescue worker for 19 years, breastfed the baby as she was rushed to a local hospital.
'Her heart rate kept going down. It came to my mind that fasting, low glucose in babies is also a cause that puts their lives at risk,' Herrera told ForoTV.
'I am breastfeeding my baby and I decided to share my baby's milk to start raising her temperature and have a little glucose in your system.'

Herrera estimated the baby consumed six millimeters during the ambulance ride and got some color on her face.
'It was a joint operation with all of my colleagues,' she said.
The newborn was listed in stable condition.
