MUMBAI, India (Reuters) -- A newborn Indian baby found abandoned with 26 stab wounds has survived, doctors said on Wednesday, despite a cracked skull and exposed intestines.



The baby boy, who doctors said was aged between one and two days, was discovered soaked in blood at a garbage dump in India's financial capital of Mumbai on Tuesday, they said.



His intestines were hanging out from a deep wound on his back and he had dirt and garbage stuck on him.



"When he was brought in he looked pale from blood loss," said Ramesh Hatti, a doctor at a city hospital.



"He is still in a lot of pain but is now stable."



Police have not been able to trace the baby's parents or establish a reason for the attack.



Babies are sometimes abandoned by unwed Indian mothers, who fear severe social repercussions for having a child out of wedlock. E-mail to a friend
