Some Policemen who responded to a distress call by a woman in labor helped deliver the baby.
NYPD Cops assigned to the 46 Precinct helped deliver a healthy baby boy on Wednesday evening, September 9, in the Bronx. Sergeant Garcia and Police Officers Howe, Olivo, and Ramroop responded to a 911 call of a woman giving birth in her apartment.
The officers arrived prior to EMS workers and jumped into action. Officer Howe, a father of two and the Field Training Officer, began to coach the 31-year-old woman with her breathing and when to push. Within minutes a healthy baby boy was delivered and Police Officer Howe cleared the baby's airway, causing him to cry.
The officers continued to comfort mom and baby until the arrival of EMS. Baby and mom were removed to a local hospital and are doing well. Police Officer Howe is a 20-year veteran of the NYPD and the Field Training Officer and mentor for newly assigned Police Officers Olivo and Ramroop.
