I dismissed it but it kept going, so I started listening. It continued so I thought 'that's no animal, it sounds like a baby'.<br /><br />''I looked around in the bushes and saw the handbag. There was a baby inside and he was waving his fist about in the air. I picked him up and took him back to the building site to ask colleagues to call the police.''<br /><br />Builders gathered round to check on the tot, which they said stopped crying as soon as he was found. <br /><br />Police and paramedics arrived and cleaned up the youngster before he was taken to the hospital to be checked over. <br /><br /> Police Captain Somkid Boonloy vice deputy of Sriracha police station said the baby had scratch marks on his neck.<br /><br />He said: ''We believe the baby had been there since the night before.
