Officers Deliver Baby at New World Trade Center Transit Hub

A baby has been born at the World Trade Center's transportation hub in Lower Manhattan.

Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman says the little girl is the first baby born at the transportation center's new grand hall, called the Oculus.

Port Authority Officer Matthew Binkowitz was on patrol when a man came up and told him his wife was in labor. Binkowitz rushed to help the couple and called for backup. 

She was delivered late Wednesday by Port Authority Police Officer Brian McGraw, who's a trained emergency medical technician. Sgt. Aaron Woody also ran over to help. The family was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital after the birth. 

In August 2015, McGraw delivered another baby girl at the World Trade Center PATH station.
