Long Island Cops, 1st Responders Help Mom Deliver Baby Boy At Home

RONKONKOMA, NY — A pair of Suffolk police officers helped a Ronkonkoma family welcome a baby boy into the world this past weekend, officials said.

Police said a 911 caller reported that there was a woman in labor and a baby was in distress at a Pond Road home at about 1:20 p.m. on Sunday and 5th Precinct officers Michael Coyne and Michael Ferrara, along with members of the Lakeland Fire Department, responded to aid a midwife and the woman’s husband in helping the mom deliver the baby.

The first responders administered oxygen to the baby for a short period of time, and there were no further complications, said police, adding that "the mother and baby boy remained at home in good health."

Police did not release further details.
