Two Auckland police officers had an unexpected job this week, with a woman giving birth inside a patrol car.
In the Greys Ave area on Monday, two officers were flagged down after a woman had gone into labour.
Police took her to Auckland Hospital under lights and sirens – but they didn't quite make it to the ward.
Minutes after their arrival at the emergency department, a "beautiful baby girl was born in the back of the patrol car".
"Our officers waved down a pair of paramedics who were also able to lend a hand," police said.

"Not the usual type of deliveries our staff are used to dealing with, however it's now definitely one of their better work stories.
"Congratulations on your new arrival, from all of us at police."
