A newborn baby has been found dead in a pub's toilets in Leeds, police have said.

Officers are appealing for the mother to come forward over concerns for her health.

The baby girl was found at the Three Horseshoes pub in Oulton at around 4.45pm on Sunday.

DCI James Entwistle of West Yorkshire Police, said: "This is a tragic incident and we are urgently appealing for the mother of the baby girl to contact us or seek medical help as she has been through an extremely traumatic ordeal and could well need treatment herself.

"Our enquiries into the incident remain ongoing today with NHS partners but our main priority remains the mother's welfare and safety."

He encouraged the mother to either contact police or call the Leeds maternity assessment unit.

A full investigation remains ongoing by detectives.
