Police were alerted after the boy, estimated to be between six and eight years old, was found in the stroller at the park’s kung fu corner and a passer-by called police at about 2pm.
“The boy is unable to speak and communicate with officers and no identification document was found on him,” a police source said, adding that the child appeared to have difficulty standing and walking.
