Officers helped deliver the baby in the back seat.
“I barely just got my glove on. I got in the back seat and just 5-6 minutes later, the head was coming out, she was crowning and the baby came out in my arms,” NYPD Officer Michael Schiaffo said.
EMTs arrived shortly after and took the new mom and the baby to a nearby hospital.
Both are reported to be doing just fine.
