Yikes.
Police have been called in to control the crowds after a two-headed baby was born in Bangladesh.
More than 150,000 people - almost double the size of the crowds at Wembley Stadium - have surrounded a hospital after news spread that a baby boy had been born with two heads.
Police were called in to control the masses as the baby was moved from one hospital to another for security reasons.
Officials feared that unless the baby was moved from the clinic in Bangladesh, where he was born, to a more secure hospital, the crowd would force their way in to gaze at the amazing sight.
If that happened, it was feared, mother and baby would be crushed.
In the past babies born with physical abnormalities have been viewed in countries such as Bangladesh and India as living gods.
Last night the boy, named Kiron, was under police protection as doctors tried to determine whether he had any future.
Kiron was born in a caesarean operation on Monday, weighing 5.5kg, in Keshobpur, 100 miles from the capital, Dhaka.
'He has one stomach and he is eating normally with his two mouths,' said gynaecologist Mohamad Abdul Bari.
'He has one genital organ and a full set of limbs.'
