Cambridge Officer Helps Deliver New Year Baby

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Happy New Year? For one woman and her new baby, it certainly was, thanks in part to Cambridge Police.

Officers responded to Hamilton Street at 2:35 a.m. Monday for an imminent birth. One of the officers arrived as the baby's head was crowning. The officer helped the mother push and assisted in the healthy, successful delivery of a baby girl.

"Congratulations to this expanding family and a job well done to our officers!" police wrote on Facebook.
