A 13-year-old girl gave birth in a subway station manager's officer after going into labour in front of shocked passengers on a packed platform.

The teen mum, who has not been named in local media in the Mexican capital Mexico City, had begun strong contractions while she was waiting for a train with her 30-year-old mother.

Bizarrely the birth, on 10th May, came as Mexico celebrated Mother's Day.

The teen's mum asked platform staff and police for help and and she was taken to the station manager's office.

But before paramedics arrived, the baby girl had already been born on the floor of the office just minutes after the contractions began.

Police cleaned and wrapped the newborn and then handed her to the mother, who hugged her moments after the dramatic birth.

Both mum, who had been eight months pregnant, and baby were rushed to hospital for specialised medical care, said police.

Mexico’s Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) later confirmed the girl had been assisted by trained Auxiliary Police and Civil Protection staff.

They said: "SSC police officers are trained in first aid and, in keeping with their vocation of service, offer support to citizens in any risky situation."
