Woman gives birth before arrest at gunpoint

A WOMAN rushing to a hospital to give birth hit a few stops along the way - first at a petrol station where she delivered the baby herself, then when confused police ordered her out of the car at gunpoint.

Debbie Coleman, whose three- and four-year-old daughters were asleep in the back seat, pulled over at a petrol station in Kettering, Ohio, just after midnight on Tuesday.

“I asked if she needed help, and she just leaned back in the seat, hollered a little, and I looked down and there was the baby’s head,” said station co-owner Lloyd Goff.
