Michelle Knight was forced to deliver Amanda Berry's baby as their alleged captor Ariel Castro stood nearby threatening to kill her if the baby died, according to a police report obtained by reporters. When the baby stopped breathing during birth, Knight put her mouth to the child's and "breathed for her." The report also details the moment of escape, when Castro forgot to lock the "big inside door" and Berry got the attention of neighbors. When the officers entered, Knight and Gina DeJesus threw themselves into police arms. Knight told police she was forced to abort five pregnancies.
