A Metro Police officer delivered his fourth baby while on duty over the weekend.

Dawood Miller was calm and collected when Nosipho Ratya of Lower Crossroads sought help at the community service centre in Philippi on Saturday afternoon.

The members on duty assisted her and made her comfortable.

While an ambulance was on it way, Miller helped deliver a healthy baby girl at 4 o’clock, much to the relief of the mother and his colleagues.

In a statement Miller says he is glad he was able to assist Ratya in her labour.

“My first baby delivery is still very fresh in my memory and in all other cases like today I am just glad that I was able to help a mother and her baby,” said Miller.

He has become accustomed to delivering babies, as he has delivered three babies in the past whilst on duty.
