German woman gives birth in back of police car A GERMAN woman was forced to give birth in the back of a police car over the weekend after she was unable to reach a hospital due to barricaded streets during Berlin's gay pride parade. The woman's 33-year-old husband approached two police officers in a panic Saturday after his wife went into labor during the annual Christopher Street Day parade, The Local Germany reported. "My wife is having a baby but I can't get through the street blockades," he told the policemen. Despite quickly being ushered into a police vehicle to wait for an ambulance, the woman's water broke soon after and the delivery began. "I could tell that the birth was going to happen soon," one of the police officers, Mario Stocklein, told the Tagesspiegel newspaper. Officer Stocklein was able to recall basic first aid training and skills to deliver the baby, saying that although "it was a quarter of a century ago... somehow I knew what I had to do." Initially, the unnamed woman resisted the officers' help as she felt ashamed and refused to remove her pants, the site reported. However, she eventually relented and the two officers were able to successfully deliver the baby.
