A cleaning crew at the Bi-Lo Center found a newborn baby in a public restroom toilet on Friday night.
Greenville emergency medical services and police responded to a call at about 11:30 p.m. following a circus performance.
Sgt. Jason Rampey said a member of the cleaning crew found the baby in the women's restroom.
"He heard what he believed to be a child crying or whimpering," Rampey said. "He looked into the bathroom stall and observed a child in the toilet."
Rampey said investigators found evidence that the child was born in the bathroom.
Police said that the baby boy is alive and was taken to the Children's Hospital at Greenville Memorial Hospital where he was treated for hypothermia.
Police believe the child was born between 9:30 and 10:30 p.m. on Friday and they are currently seeking information that will help them identify and locate the mother. They said she likely needs medical attention.
"We don't think that it's physically possible that a mother would not know that she had given birth to a child, so we certainly think that the child was abandoned purposefully," Rampey said.
