Born to commute: Woman gives birth at Penn Station

Eyewitness News

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A Long Island woman is celebrating the birth of a newborn son, but the process didn't exactly go according to her birth plan.

In the midst of the usual Penn Station chaos, MTA officers got a call Wednesday morning about a woman in distress.

"I remember, I asked you, 'Is she full term? Is she due like immediately?' And he said, 'Yeah, looks like she's ready to have the baby any day now,'" Officer Melissa DeFrancesco said.

But that baby was ready now. Ana Agguire was waiting on track 20 of the LIRR trying to get home.
