She added: "Then loads of people came in screaming that there’s a baby in the river.
"He sat there and stared, he didn’t move so the police were phoned and he just told a customer that he’d thrown his baby in the river.”
Anastasia Ward, who lives next to the bridge said: “I saw the mum walk past with the baby around 4pm."
Two fire engines, ambulances, police cars and a police helicopter were scrambled to the scene as a huge emergency response was launched near the town centre.
