Police deliver baby under a tree─── 15:37 Wed, 16 Mar 2022
Police on a routine patrol found themselves going beyond the call of duty when they delivered a healthy baby boy under a tree in Worcester in the Western Cape.
Police spokesperson Frederick van Wyk told Times Live that local sector commander Warrant Officer Anneline Fielies was busy with patrols yesterday afternoon when she was approached by a male asking her to assist his girlfriend suffering from labour pains.
It soon became apparent the baby would not wait for an ambulance to arrive at Aan de Doorns Road.
Fielies called the ambulance service for assistance while she cordoned off the area with blankets. Moments later, she delivered a healthy baby boy. An ambulance arrived shortly afterwards and transported mother and baby to a nearby hospital.
