A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of murder after an unresponsive baby was found on a bus in east London, police have said.
Paramedics called the police after the three-month-old girl was found at 10.20am on the bus at the junction of High Street and Carpenters Road in Stratford, Scotland Yard said.
The child was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.
A 27-year-old woman was arrested at the hospital and a 52-year-old man was detained at an address in east London later on Wednesday. They were both arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody at separate police stations.
A postmortem examination was due to take place on Friday at St Thomas’s hospital. The baby has not been formally identified.
DCI Gary Holmes said: “The death of any child is tragic and we would appeal for anyone with information to please come forward as soon as possible to help with our inquiries.”
