Police took a 23-year-old woman into custody at the home. It wasn't immediately clear who she is.
A neighbor told 1010 WINS that she heard the sound of crying as she was taking out the garbage Sunday morning.
"When I look, I see a little thing on the floor. When I take a close look, I see it's a baby," she said. "And I start to scream. And the lady was sitting right here, the owner of the house, playing with her children. She looked at it. I said, 'Call 911!'"
She said the baby was covered in blood and that there was an umbilical cord.
A man who lives at the home where the woman was taken into custody said he heard crying all night. He said he would have done something but he thought the crying was coming from next door, where a woman cares for children.
"I should have come out and looked, but we know that people take babies next door, and I really thought that was it," he said.
