Cops attached to the Stony Hill Police Station had their hands full on Sunday night after they were called to assist an expectant mother, who later delivered her baby right inside the guard room.

THE STAR understands that quick and decisive action by the police facilitated the birth of a bouncing baby girl on location in the station's guardroom.

Information reaching our news team is that 25-year-old Renae Shay of Alls Green, St Andrew, address was being transported to the hospital by a public passenger bus after experiencing some excruciating pain.

THE STAR was told that while on the bus, the driver and conductor were alerted that the pain was unbearable. On reaching the Stony Hill square, they opted to leave their route and divert to the nearby police station so that Shay could get speedier assistance in reaching a doctor.

Our news team understands she was dropped off at the station gate in the company of her mother, who was travelling with her.

A policeman told THE STAR, "The pregnant woman appeared at the door and immediately began to ask if we had any vehicle because she needs help to get to the hospital, we asked if she was having a contraction, and she said yes!"

THE STAR gathered that within five minutes, while arrangements were being made to have her transported, she went into labour right there in the guardroom.

According to a policeman that was present, "She came in about 7:30 p.m. and by 7:37 p.m. we birth a nice baby girl."

THE STAR was told that woman Corporal Roye from the Stony Hill Police Station led the delivery process and was assisted by about three other police officers.

Efforts to speak with the woman corporal proved futile. However, on Monday, another police officer told THE STAR that based on his knowledge the child and mother were fine.

He said, "The baby was delivered fine last night. They did not remove the umbilical cord right away. She was then placed into a motorised patrol unit and taken to the Kingston Public Hospital, under flashing police lights."

When quizzed by THE STAR, if the newly born baby was Shay's first child, the police said, "I don't think it's her first, she seems experienced because she not even scream or make any growling sound during the procedure."
