Uber driver didn’t notice baby left by customer

An Uber driver carried on picking up passengers without realising a customer had left her baby in the car.

Elisabeth Katompa described how she screamed in panic and phoned 999 after the car drove off in north London just after 11pm on Wednesday as she went to open the rear car door.

The driver reportedly picked up another passenger, who did not question why there was a sleeping baby on the back seat. It was only when he picked up a second passenger that he realised what had happened and took her to a police station.
