(NEW YORK) — A baby girl was found abandoned in a stroller in New York City’s Times Square, and a search is underway for the child’s father, authorities said.
Police responded to a report of an abandoned baby by West 44th Street and Seventh Avenue shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday night.
The 1-year-old girl was found in a stroller conscious and alert and appeared to be unharmed, authorities said.
She was taken to an area hospital for evaluation and is reported to be in stable condition.
Detectives are searching for the baby’s father, who police say may have taken the girl during a dispute with the child’s mother and was the last person seen with her.
Police said the father knocked the stroller over onto the sidewalk in Times Square and ran away. He is being sought for child abandonment and custodial interference, authorities said.
The father is believed to be homeless and is known to hang around the Times Square area often, authorities said.
Police are pulling surveillance cameras in the area to try to retrace his steps.

PJ Morton has announced a tour in support of his upcoming double album, Saturday Night, Sunday Morning.
The Saturday Night, Sunday Morning Tour will include 30 headlining shows across North America, during which he will perform songs from the project and his catalog alongside his longtime live band. The tour kicks off July 19 and wraps on Nov. 27.
An artist presale for the tour begins Thursday at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets then on go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
Saturday Night, Sunday Morning was initially the name of PJ’s memoir, Saturday Night, Sunday Morning: Staying True to Myself from the Pews to the Stage. The album now takes on the same name, bringing his story to life musically. The Saturday Night portion will focus on R&B, while Sunday Morning will center on gospel music.
“I’d always been made to choose. Growing up in church, I loved gospel music. You could feel it in your soul. But R&B and soul music, that got me too,” PJ begins in a statement. “There was always an unspoken rule that you had to choose one or the other. But is that a true reflection of life? Are we all one thing all the time? Is the soundtrack the same for having a worship experience with God as it is for falling in love?”
“I’ve been fortunate enough to exist in many of these spaces authentically,” he continues. “I was the same person when I wrote ‘Let Go Let God’ as I was when I wrote ‘Say So.’ I didn’t want to choose this time. I’m both Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.”
PJ wrote and produced the project, which is set to arrive on June 19.

In an Instagram video, Zara Larsson has revealed some of the guests who’ll be joining her on the deluxe edition of her current album, Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, due May 1.
In the video, Zara walks into a convenience store and starts browsing a rack of keychains. She chooses a whole bunch of them, and each one is labeled with a name of one of her collaborators. One of them, PinkPantheress, we already knew about — she and Zara performed their remix of “Midnight Sun” at Coachella.
The other names revealed include Tyla, Shakira, Madison Beer, Kehlani and Swedish pop icon Robyn, best known for “Dancing on My Own.”
“My girrlsssssssssss!!!!!” Zara captioned the video. “I’m so so so so so honored and excited for this. And you know what’s crazy? This is just the beginning of girls trip!!! Like HELLO This summer is gonna be madness.”

(NEW YORK) — Nearly half of Americans — 152.3 million people — now live in places with unhealthy levels of ozone or particle pollution (PM2.5), two of the most dangerous air pollutants.
The American Lung Association’s 2026 “State of the Air” report finds that more than 129 million people live in counties with failing grades for ozone pollution. This type of pollution forms when sunlight interacts with compounds emitted from cars, industry and chemicals, creating harmful ground-level ozone in the air.
About 62 million people live in counties with failing grades for daily particle pollution spikes, which consist of tiny particles in the air produced by sources like car exhaust, power plants, construction, fires and dust, according to the report.
Exposure to dirty air was not equal, the report found.
People of color were more than twice as likely to live in areas failing all major pollution measures, according to the report.
“[In] areas where people have fewer socioeconomic resources … there’s a snowball effect because many of these areas may have less access to healthy food, less safe places to work out outside and less access to health care,” Dr. Afif El-Hasan, a board-certified pulmonologist and an American Lung Association spokesperson, told ABC News.
Many of these areas with high pollution are also underserved areas or have lower socioeconomic means, El-Hasan said.
Breathing in contaminated air not only makes people sicker; it affects family dynamics, finances and just about every other aspect of life, the report’s authors say.
Children are disproportionately affected as well. About 33.5 million of them are living in counties that received failing grades for at least one major air pollutant.
“Children who grow up in areas with polluted air are going to have decreased lung development compared to children who grow up having been exposed to clean air,” El-Hasan said. “Ultimately that leads to adults who have lower lung capacity than they would otherwise have — and that’s not reversible.”
And because the pollution compromises the body’s defenses, infections like the cold, flu and even COVID may be more severe in people who live in high-pollution areas, the findings suggested.
Despite decades of progress under the Clean Air Act, which was signed into law in 1970, the report found that air pollution is intensifying in many parts of the country.
Ozone pollution has worsened and now affects more people than in the past.
Climate change helps drive this trend by fueling extreme heat, drought and wildfires, the study suggested. And, while particle pollution has shown slight improvements, it still exposes far more people than historic low levels seen in the mid-2010s.
If you live in a place with poor air quality, there are steps you can take to protect your health, according to the American Lung Association.
Limit time outdoors on poor air quality days and check daily conditions. Use a high-quality mask like an N95 respirator and keep indoor air clean with filtration when pollution levels are high. Exercise indoors on bad air quality days.
Studies have also shown that staying up to date on vaccines, including flu and COVID shots, can also offer some protection.
Additionally, it’s critical the U.S. maintains the gains it has made on air quality over decades of stronger public health policies, El-Hasan said.
“Air does not respect borders — it will go everywhere,” El-Hasan said. “People should understand that what they do in terms of making sure policies are protecting air locally — it doesn’t just help you. If we are all helping keep our local air clean, it will help the rest of the nation as well.”

Tommy Lee has announced a new album called Tommyland Rides Again, described as a “reimagined” version of the Mötley Crüe drummer’s 2005 solo record, Tommyland: The Ride.
Tommyland Rides Again is due out May 22. According to a press release, the updated set gives “each track all the love and attention to create something that was just sonically impossible back in 2005.”
“The cover art invites you to take a ride inside my twisted musical world and experience its new life after 20 years,” Lee says in a statement. “And in Dolby Atmos.”
Tommyland: The Ride included collaborations with Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, Something Corporate’s Andrew McMahon and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, as well as the single “Good Times,” which featured Butch Walker and was the theme song to the 2005 reality seriesTommy Lee Goes to College.
The Tommyland Rides Again version of “Good Times” is out now alongside an HD upscale of the original video, which you can watch streaming on YouTube.
Tommyland Rides Again also includes a new bonus track called “Stupid World,” featuring musician and former pro skateboarder Chad Tepper.
After releasing the original Tommyland: The Ride album, Lee didn’t put out another solo record until 2020’s Andro, which remains his most recent solo effort.
Mötley Crüe, meanwhile, is preparing to launch their Return of the Carnival of Sins tour in July.

Steve Winwood has paid tribute to his Traffic bandmate Dave Mason, who passed away on April 19 at the age of 79.
“We were deeply saddened to hear of Dave Mason’s passing,” Winwood writes on Instagram. “Dave was part of Traffic during its earliest chapter, and played an important role in shaping the band’s sound and identity during that time. His songwriting, musicianship and distinctive spirit helped create music that has lasted far beyond its era, and continues to mean so much to listeners around the world.”
“Those years remain a special part of the band’s story, and Dave’s contribution to them is not forgotten,” Winwood continues. “His place in that history will always be remembered, and through the music, his presence endures.”
Finally, he notes, “At this sad time, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and all those who loved him and his music.”
Mason and Winwood formed Traffic in 1967 with Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
With Mason’s death, Winwood is the only surviving member of the band; Capaldi passed away in 2005 at 60, and Wood passed away in 1983 at 39.
