American teen arrested in Paris after newborn fatally thrown from hotel window, French media report

A US teenager has been arrested in Paris after her newborn baby was allegedly thrown out of a hotel window and died, multiple French media outlets reported, citing a statement from prosecutors.

The teenager, who was not named, was taken to hospital to undergo an operation after giving birth and was subsequently placed under police custody, prosecutors said.

Her newborn baby “was apparently thrown out of the second-floor window of a hotel” in the 20th arrondissement of Paris on Monday, prosecutors said. “The newborn was taken to emergency care but did not survive.”

Prosecutors said the young woman was part of a “group of young adults traveling in Europe.” An investigation into the homicide of a minor has since been opened, they added.

The case was first reported by Paris Match. AFP news agency and Le Parisien gave the woman’s age as 18.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
