Another foetus was found dumped in Pretoria on Wednesday morning.

Hi Risk medical head Gareth Pahl said the foetus was found at about 11.40am on the corner of Cliff and Polaris avenues on the footbridge going over the N1 highway near Hoërskool Waterkloof, Rekord East reported.

He said the foetus was too young to determine the gender.

“A member of the public flagged down a Hi Risk patrol vehicle who then called the medical team,” said Pahl.
