A baby was found hidden inside of a carry-on bag on an Air France plane, according to officials on Wednesday.
The bag belonged to an Air France passenger who was on board the jet.
French authorities have opened an investigation into the matter.
The child, who traveled with an adult, was found on Air France Flight 1891 from Istanbul to Paris. The baby didn’t have a ticket.
A witness told website Planet.fr: “The cloth bag belonged to a woman sitting at the back. At one point, she wanted to open it and somebody on the neighboring row of seats saw that something was moving inside,” according to Fox News.
[The woman] decided to hide the child in a bag to get aboard another flight, after buying a new ticket
