Sadly this is nothing new. Rats have been attacking infants/children in their beds or prams for ages. They are often drawn to the scent of milk either on the child or from the bottle. Then there is the fact a bold rat or rats will simply see the infant as prey....
Many, many movies about life for African Americans and or even whites living in slum/ghetto conditions have scenes reflecting the oft real life events of children being bitten/attacked by rats.
The Great White Hope, Native Son, an episode of Call the Midwife, are but a few.
Like we don't have enough to worry about in life.. Hope the kid gets better soon
If you have rats in your apartment trust me you'll know it! *LOL*
Moi? I'd be out of there in a NYC second but sadly others have no choice. You'd be surprised at how many New Yorkers pay rent to live in rat trap buildings (literally). They dread the arrival of dusk through dawn just as those mythical villagers/town residents that have vampire problems. *LOL*
