NYC cops help mom deliver baby near Lincoln Tunnel entrance

Two Port Authority Police officers helped deliver a baby boy after his mother unexpectedly went into labor inside a car during a morning rush hour traffic near the entrance to Lincoln Tunnel.

Officer Timothy Jozefczyk was the first on the scene at the toll plaza on the New Jersey side in Weehawken, just before 9 a.m. Monday — where found Maria Marin’s son crowning, reported NJ.com.

“I put my hands near the baby’s head,” he told WABC-TV. “I instructed keep pushing, keep pushing, keep pushing.”

Although he’d never helped with a delivery before and has no children of his own yet, Jozefczyk used his training to guide the mom through the impromptu backseat delivery.

Three minutes later, the woman and her partner, Nestor Guallpa, welcomed a healthy son.

Kylian Aaron Guallpa Castano was born weighing 6 pounds and 9 ounces.

“I was so relieved when the baby cried and so happy that everyone is healthy,” said Jozefczyk.

A short time later, his colleague Officer Evan Butt, a former EMT with the FDNY, arrived to help Jozefczyk with clamping the umbilical cord until paramedics transported Marin and her newborn to Hoboken University Medical Center.

Jozefczyk, a nine-year veteran on the force, admitted that he felt very nervous because he had never held a newborn in his arms before, let alone assisted with a birth.

“Nothing compares to the real thing,” Jozefczyk said of the miracle of birth. “You can teach it on a screen all you want, but once when you’re there, it’s a totally different experience.”

For Butt, however, Monday’s delivery was the fifth of his career.

Nestor Guallpa, baby Kylian’s relieved and overjoyed dad, was grateful to both cops for their help in ushering his son into the world.

“Seeing the officers work carefully and knew what they were doing was amazing,” the parent gushed. “They’re our heroes. It was like something out of a movie, and I will never forget this experience.”
