Video: NYPD Rescues Pregnant Woman From Stranded Boat

NYPD Special Operations officers rescued a pregnant woman who was in labor on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean Wednesday afternoon. The officers received a call for assistance for a woman in labor on a charter fishing boat that was approximately two miles south of Riis Park in the Atlantic Ocean. The NYPD Aviation Unit immediately deployed two helicopters and were above the boat in 10 minutes. An Emergency Service Unit tactical medic was lowered from one of the helicopters and rendered medical aid to the woman. The woman and her family were then placed onboard an NYPD Harbor Unit boat and taken to Kingsborough Community College dock where EMS transported her to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition.
