An NYPD highway patrol officer made a special delivery on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
Police say Officer Raphael Mohammed responded to a 911 call around 3:30 p.m. Sunday about a woman in labor.
He then discovered her about to give birth in the back seat of an Uber in the right lane on the expressway's Westbound side.
Mohammed says he started to assist in the labor, but noticed the baby was not moving.
"The torso and the limbs were presenting, but not the head. Once I got my hands on the baby, the baby was a little lifeless, very cool, purple. And that's when I realized the umbilical cord for the child was around his neck," Mohammed said. "Once that airspace was created, I was able to loosen the umbilical cord that was around the neck. By doing those two things, I realized the baby started to gasp for air and started to move."
The 35-year-old mom gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
Both she and the baby were taken to Wyckoff Hospital and are now doing OK.
