In more heartening police news, two transit officers gave a very special Christmas gift to a Philadelphia woman when they jumped on a subway train to help deliver her baby Thursday, according to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. Sgt. Daniel Caban and Officer Dorrell James hopped on the Market-Frankford line train as it stopped underground in Center City. “As soon as we got there, I could see the baby’s head coming through her sweatpants, and we just went right to work,” Caban said.
