It turned out that the woman was in pain because childbirth has started already.

The two police officers lay the woman down, put her bag under her head, and she suddenly started to give birth to her child. When the two officers removed her trousers and underwear, the baby’s head could be seen already, which meant that performing the childbirth at the tram station was inevitable.

Papp held the woman’s head while Berkes helped to push and grabbed the baby. Childbirth only took a few minutes, and the two police officers performed it on their own.

The ambulance arrived at Blaha Lujza Square shortly after the incident and took the mother and the child into the hospital. The baby, named Noel, was born with 2,444 grams and 47 centimetres. He and his mother are fine.
