A 23-year-old woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl at the Biche Police Station on Saturday night.
Nazema Alladeen, a clerk at the Ministry of Education, was on her way to the Sangre Grande Hospital when she made a detour at around 8.20 p.m.
Alladeen told media that when the vehicle reached in the vicinity of the Biche Police Station, she felt like the baby was coming out and knew she couldn’t make it.
Her husband, Deron Ramoutar, drove into the Biche Police Station and assisted his wife inside.
Alladeen was taken to the female dormitory where she was assisted by police constables Raymond Mendoza and Joanne Colastic.
Three midwives, who live in the community, were contacted to assist in the delivery. The baby was delivered at around 8.30 p.m.
Alladeen and her baby girl were taken to the Sangre Grande Hospital, by ambulance, for observation.
The first-time mom thanked the officers who went beyond the call of duty.
The baby girl was named Serena Ramoutar.
