"When David Otte set out for a Sunday morning cycle, he never imagined he would find a newborn baby boy trapped down a drain.
He was riding along the M7 bike track at Quakers Hill about 7.30am with his 18-year-old daughter Hayley when they were stopped by two men who could hear noise coming from a drain.
The men thought it was an animal - a cat or a lizard, they said - but Mr Otte knew better.
"I've got two kids of my own so I know what a baby screaming sounds like," the father from Rydalmere said. "It was so intense; you couldn't not tell it was a baby. We couldn't see it but we could hear it. It was distressed.""
