Thousands flock to see baby born with 8 limbs in India
A baby boy born with four arms and four legs is causing panic in the streets of Baruipur, east India, as locals believe he is the reincarnation of a god.
The child has been named God Boy, as multiple limbs are common among Hindu deities, and people are travelling from across the region to the city in West Bengal State to get a glimpse of the child.
Local police complain they are struggling to control the crowds, as hundreds cry in the streets and clamor to get access to the hospital.
The boy's birth defect, two extra arms and two extra legs, are the remains of an underdeveloped co-joined twin. The family are overjoyed at their new addition and see him as the son Hindu God Brahma, who is depicted with eight limbs.
