Rodriguez, who police say gave birth to the baby, was taken to Bellevue Hospital. Estevez was still being held at the Midtown South police station Thursday night, CBS 2′s Hazel Sanchez reported.
They have both been charged with petty larceny. More charges could follow.
The Medical Examiner’s Office was performing an autopsy on the baby, which was believed to be a boy, to determine whether the child was born dead or alive and the cause of death. The results of the autopsy are expected to be released Friday.
