A
woman received quite the morning commuter surprise when she went into
labor and gave birth on the New Jersey PATH train yesterday morning. The
baby was born at 9:49 a.m. between the Journal Square Station in New
Jersey and the 33rd Street stop in Manhattan, according to WABC-TV in
New York. A fellow passenger, who happened to be an attending physician
at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan, assisted in delivering
the child on the train. Rabita Sarker, 31, of Harrison, New Jersey, and
her newborn baby are doing well.
