NATION : Passenger Has Baby in N.Y. Subway
A 26-year-old pregnant subway rider, declaring “I am ready,” gave birth today in the tool room of a bustling mid-town Manhattan subway station with the help of two Transit Police officers.
Martha Davis, who is homeless, left the train during the morning rush hour and approached a token booth clerk in the Rockefeller Center station to say she was ready to give birth to her sixth child. The two officers whisked the woman to a tool room in the station where she gave birth to a girl 10 minutes later. She and the child were then taken to Roosevelt Hospital where both were reported in good condition.
