A baby boy was ditched by his parents at a check-in counter at a Tel Aviv airport, authorities said. The parents arrived late for their flight and did not have a ticket for the infant to travel, CNN reported. The couple then raced off to try and board a Ryanair flight bound Brussels, the Israeli Airport Authority said. The unidentified parents who held Belgian passports left their baby behind in a carrier on Tuesday inside Ben Gurion International Airport, the Israeli Airport Authority told CNN. Ryanair and the Israeli Airport Authority did not immediately return requests for comment by Insider on Wednesday.
