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 . Copyright 2007 Reuters .
