Law enforcement officers saves mother shortly after giving birth

Whilst escorting Emergency Medical Services personnel to a 'high risk' area on Saturday morning, Cape Town Law Enforcement officers came across a woman who was lying on the side of the road in Wespoort Drive, in Mitchell's Plain.

Upon further inspection, the officers learnt that the woman has just given birth.

Officers quickly reacted, and took the woman to the local day hospital whereby they were admitted to the maternity ward, as her umbilical cord was still attached. 

The hospital staff confirmed both the mother and baby were in good condition. It was revealed that the mother had been homeless, but that she had been offered accommodation by a good Samaritan.
