CRUEL locals have labelled a baby born in an Indian village with large red eyes and holes in place of his nose an "alien".

The unnamed boy was born to Karishma and Arshad at their home in Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, India, in the early hours of Tuesday.

3 The youngster, who does not have a properly formed face, was born in a village in India on Tuesday

3 His parents have not yet named him but say his birth is 'God's will'

But when the young mother was stunned when she saw her second child for the first time.

She said: "His eyes were red and huge. He was looking at me and his nose was flat. He also does not have ears.

"I had gone into labour late at night and by 4am he was born naturally. I was excited to see him but when I saw his face I could not believe what I saw.

"I have never seen a child like this before."

Since the birth of the boy villagers have been flocking to the family home thinking he is an "alien".

But father Arshad, a painter, believes his son is God's will and is optimistic of raising him for as long as he can.

3 The boy's parents have vowed to raise him in spite of other villagers' cruel taunts

Arshad said: "God has given him to us. We will not abandon him. We will take care of him as long as he survives."

The baby weighs five pounds and has a healthy pair of limbs. Doctors believe he will survive and he is currently breathing properly.

The couple, who have a two year old daughter, are hoping for miracle that could give their son a long life.

Earlier today we reported how a woman, 47, gave birth to a baby doctors thought was cancer - after going through menopause.

And in July, a little girl survived against all odds after being born premature and the size of a tennis ball.
