Toronto police officers help woman deliver baby in back seat of taxi
TORONTO — One of the Toronto police officers who delivered a baby in the back of a taxi cab early Saturday said it was quite a feeling.
“It’s not every day you can say you helped deliver a baby,” Const. Colin McLaughlin said in a phone interview Saturday night.
“When I walked into work last night I wasn’t expecting something like that to happen.”
McLaughlin, a 26 year veteran on the force, was on the night shift at an east end precinct when a call came in at around 1:20 a.m. from a paramedics dispatcher saying a taxi cab with a woman in labour was about to arrive at his station.
