Shocked parents watch train speed off with baby on board

BERLIN (AP) — Police say a baby in Germany has been reunited with its parents after they watched in horror as it speed off on a train without them on board. Federal police said the father had put a stroller with his 11-month-old child inside onto the train but was waiting on the platform for his wife to join them when the doors closed and it pulled out of Duesseldorf station early Sunday. The panicked parents rushed to a taxi in hopes of catching the train at its next stop in the nearby city of Duisburg. But passengers who spotted the unaccompanied baby alerted the conductor, who ordered the train to return to Duesseldorf. Police said the baby was later “handed back into the care of its grateful parents.”
