Woman gives birth on Brooklyn sidewalk

This woman's baby didn't want to waste a single second to enter the world. Social media captured a woman going into labor on a Brooklyn, N.Y., sidewalk on Saturday, about 6 p.m. on Clark and Henry Streets.

Twitter user Cfohlin snapped multiple pictures of the event in Brooklyn Heights.

According to him, with the help of NYPD and paramedics at the scene, the woman successfully delivered her newborn despite less than ideal conditions.

PIX 11's Kaitlin Monte captured the birth on her Periscope. The crowd broke into applause as the new mother and her baby were taken on a stretcher to a local hospital for proper medical care.
