A Massachusetts police officer Zach Hall was working a shift on New Year’s Day when he responded to a call around 2:45 a.m. for a woman actively in labor.
After arriving at the scene, Hall successfully helped the woman deliver her “healthy baby girl,” who was named Sophia.
“I was there to help bring a new life brought into this world, all while trying to remain calm for the nervous parents. I feel proud and lucky that I had the opportunity to help this family and their beautiful new baby. It’s not something many police officers witnesses,” says Hall.
Hall said that it was when he saw the baby’s father running out of the house that he realized the mother was about to give birth at any moment.
“I just ran into the house ready to help. As a cop, you don’t really have the time to focus on nerves or emotions. We just do what we are trained to do,” said Hall to PEOPLE.
The police department is praising him for his heroic actions after he helped a pregnant woman welcome her baby into the world.
