A pregnant woman and her husband were on their way to Stamford Hospital for a prenatal checkup when their car hit a pot hole and sustained two flat tires.
Upon arrival, Greenwich Officer Joshua Weinstock made contact with the couple, who said that although the baby was not due for another three weeks, the woman was experiencing abdominal pain. The couple called 911 when the pain worsened, as she suspected she was in labor.
As the woman continued to have contractions, Officer Weinstock advised her to push until she delivered her son. The woman eventually gave birth to a healthy baby boy, whom the couple named James Vincent Sanford.
First responders transported the couple and their newborn to Greenwich Hospital for post-birth treatment.
The Greenwich Police Department has since named Weinstock as "Officer of the Month" for quick-thinking actions and professionalism on the job.
