When they were told by airport staff that they couldn’t board without purchasing a separate ticket, they simply left the child in its pushchair at the check-in desk and proceeded to get on their next flight.
Airport staff however noticed the lone pushchair and discovered the abandoned baby underneath.
Before they could get on the flight, the parents were stopped and told to go collect their baby. The police arrested them and detained them for questioning.
