Security cameras at a Russian hospital captured a woman stealing a baby girl in a shopping bag.
The woman---who is wearing a robe and is carrying a green shopping bag---takes the baby girl without anyone noticing.
The broadcaster reported that the young child was found hours later. She was unharmed and returned to her mother.
The woman, said to have the first name Yekaterina, is now facing kidnapping charges, officials said.
It is believed that she kidnapped the child after the death of her own.
When police showed up to apprehend her, she reportedly had fainted several times.
She was arrested after telling her family that she took the child. Reports said she is a 23-year-old medical student, and the mother of the stolen child is also 23.
Hospital officials said they would increase security. Meanwhile, police are still investigating the matter.
If the woman is deemed fit to stand trial, she faces a heavy prison sentence, officials said.
