LA officers help deliver baby on Mother’s Day
LOS ANGELES, CA. (WISH) – Two Los Angeles police officers helped deliver a baby on Mother’s Day.
Sasha Murphy was on her way to the hospital when she went into labor. The father got pulled over by police officers after he sped and ran a few lights.
The officers soon realized Murphy had just given birth in the car. They hit their sirens and escorted the couple into the hospital safely.
Murphy said she will never forget the experience because of the reactions of the officers.
“I saw her legs propped up on the dash and I just saw a lot of blood. My whole face was just focused on her eyes and she was just in shock. At that moment I knew what we were dealing with,” Officer Maraea Toomalatai, Los Angeles Police said.
The boy, Messiah Tindely was born weighing seven pounds and ten ounces.
Both the mother and the baby are doing okay.CNN contributed to this report.
