Train Leaves Station With Baby After Dad Steps Outside To Smoke

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority released a statement about the January 12 incident in East Cleveland on Wednesday.

The statement says the train's driver learned about the baby on board before it arrived at the next station, which was just a minute away.

RTA officials responded and quickly returned to the station where the father was reunited with the child.
