Christmas surprise: Woman gives birth on Philadelphia subway train

By Noelle Swan, Staff writer

There are few better Christmas gifts than a holiday baby. The parents of one bundle of joy were caught off-guard when their baby boy decided to make his first appearance in the world on an subway train in Philadelphia.

By the time two Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority officers arrived at the scene shortly after 6 p.m., the baby was well on his way. So Sgt. Daniel Caban and Officer Darrell James coached the woman through the delivery, unwrapped the umbilical cord from the baby’s neck, and placed the boy in his mothers’ arms.

"I had already opened all my presents," Sargent Caban told WPVI-TV. "I didn't know I had another one waiting for me around 5:53 this afternoon."
