Police told today of a “special Easter delivery” on a street in north-west London after two constables helped a woman give birth to a baby boy.

Officers on routine patrol in Harrow were flagged down this afternoon by a van driver in Kenton Road at around 1.30pm.

Two police constables stopped to offer help and found the van passenger was a woman, who was in labour.

The baby was delivered into a Metropolitan Police fleece before an ambulance was called to take mother and baby to a hospital in north-west London.

Harrow MPS tweeted: “A special Easter delivery, delivered by officers from Harrow police on Kenton Road this morning. Named Alex."
