Facebook helps to find baby lost after Nice attack

A couple who lost their eight-month-old during the truck attack in Nice have been reunited with their baby after an appeal went out on Facebook.

The parents reportedly lost their pram during the disorder that followed the moment a lorry drove into a crowd during Bastille celebrations in Nice.

The baby’s aunt posted on Facebook status calling for people to contact her if they had information about her nephew. The post was shared by Facebook users more than 22,000 times. 

Around an hour later, the baby was found alive and well after it was discovered a local resident had taken the baby into their home, the Daily Mail reports.

"Thanks to all of those on Facebook who helped us and sent us messages of support," Ms Banner wrote.
