A woman who went into labor at a Brooklyn subway stop Sunday night had to give birth to her baby on the sidewalk, according to published reports.
The dramatic delivery began at the Clark Street station in Brooklyn Heights at 5:30 p.m, a witness told the New York Daily News. Cops and EMT workers found the woman laid out on a piece of cardboard just outside the stop, where they delivered her child.
