Cop Helps Deliver Blauvelt Baby

An Orangetown officer helped deliver a baby after a 911 call Friday morning.

The officer sent to a Blauvelt home found a family -- husband, 2-year-old daughter, and pregnant woman who wasn't going to get to the hospital on time.

He helped to deliver a baby girl, and assisted in clearing her airway so she could give her first small sneeze.

Medic 21 then arrived, cut the umbilical cord and checked both out. The mom and the healthy baby were then transported to Good Samaritan Hospital by South Orangetown Ambulance.

The baby's name has not yet been announced, police said.
