Woman gives birth to baby in middle of crosswalk in NY
A pregnant woman heading to the hospital collapsed on an Upper East Side street — then gave birth smack in the middle of a crosswalk, the New York Post reported on Tuesday.
Polly McCourt, 39, went into labor at around 4 p.m. on Monday then tried to hail a taxi to the hospital near her home on East 68th Street and Third Avenue, according to the report. But she could no longer wait and got to the ground.
A young doctor spotted the commotion and rushed to her side as other bystanders propped her up and covered her with coats, the newspaper said.
“It was a crazy experience,” the baby’s father Cian McCorty, 40, told The Post.
“My wife was really calm very together….She’s a strong woman,” he said.
A crowd of roughly 50 onlookers formed and an ambulance arrived in minutes — but not before McCourt gave birth, while laying on the pavement, in less than five minutes, witnesses said, according to the report.
