“PC Stevie Fergus and PC Guy Rawson were on a routine patrol in Maxwell Road, Glasgow when they noticed a distressed man flagging them down after his wife had gone into labour in the back of their car.

“The quick-thinking officers realised that there wasn’t much time before the special delivery and helped deliver a baby boy prior to the ambulance arriving. When the little bundle arrived, PC Fergus made sure his airways were clear and rubbed his back until he started crying.
