A Lakewood couple has Ocean Townsip Police Officer to thank for their help in delivering their healthy child. At approximately 5:49 PM yesterday, Officers Raheem Carter and Kyle Kane (pictured) were dispatched to the parking lot of the 7 Eleven convenience store located at 807 Deal Road in reference to a woman in a vehicle who was in labor.
Upon arrival, officers located the 28 year old Lakewood woman in the back seat of a taxi cab.
As officers were awaiting the arrival of EMS personnel the mother began giving birth.
“Officers Carter and Kane assisted in the successful delivery of a baby boy,” Ocean Township Police said today. “Shortly after the delivery, Oakhurst First Aid and MONOC paramedics arrived and transported both mother and baby to Monmouth Medical Center.”

Apparently 7-11 now offers free delivery.
We love stories like this – I am glad everything worked out for everyone!!
I’m not sure why they needed medics as childbirth is usually a BLS emergency.
Glad everything worked out well and mom and baby are okay. Kudos to the officers for a job well done. Congratulations and best wishes to all.
Baby weighed 7’11”

free delivery and a drive through. what could be more convenient?
you just never know all the circumstances upon arrival..you send them..if not needed you can cancel them from responding but you never hold off until its too late to send them..because then it might be too late.
