Toronto police say a mother and her newborn are doing well after two officers helped her with the delivery at the back seat of a taxi early Saturday morning.
Police say two officers were contacted by paramedics at about 1:20 a.m. after a woman went into labour inside a cab in the city's east end.
Paramedics were on their way to the call, but the officers arrived on the scene first.
