Bedford, NY – Two Bedford police officers helped deliver a baby boy at the Talmud Torah of Kasho community center this morning, the Journal News reports. The mother said, “It’s coming,” Officer Melvin Padilla said when he and Officer Frank Egelsen walked in to the Haines Road complex at 7:00AM.
The paramedic had not yet arrived. Padilla, a trained emergency medical technician as is Egelsen, told her to hold on, but she couldn’t, he said.
“It felt like about a year and a half,” he said, before Westchester Emergency Services paramedic Christopher Langeman arrived just in time to catch the nearly fully emerged baby boy.
Padilla said it was a very exciting morning.
Mother and son were taken to Northern Westchester Hospital where, police said, they went through the emergency room straight to the maternity ward.

Mazel Tov!! Lots of yiddish nachas.
sounds odd … most hospitals put an already born child in pediatric ward, no matter how young. maternity is usually reserved for babies actually born in that hospital.

#2 that is not true.
mazel tov. but why is this so newsworthy? happens all the time (maybe not in bedford hills)
#2- No, it is typical to bring them to the maternity ward. The baby still needs typical newborn care, and the mom needs her regular after care. I have never heard of such a case where the mom/baby was brought to a regular ward.
To #’s 3 and 6. If you don’t like it don’t read it. This news was no other frum websites with no negative comments.
#3, What exactly is wrong with this story? You may be paranoid because i dont see what you are so upset about. Mazel tov
