A couple with Belgian passports, who abandoned their baby at the check-in desk in Israel’s Ben-Gurion airport before rushing to board a flight to Brussels have been detained by police.
According to Daily Mail UK, on Wednesday, the incident happened at the airport in Tel Aviv after the pair arrived with Belgian passports and tickets for a Ryanair flight to the Belgian capital. Still, they did not have a boarding pass for their child.
When airport staff told them they couldn’t board without purchasing a separate ticket, they left the child in its pushchair at the check-in desk and boarded 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 collect their baby. The police arrested them and detained them for questioning.
