The unexpected birth occurred at No85 on Calle Villajoyosa in the Villaverde district of Spain’s capital city with the assistance of a nurse who, by chance, happened to be in the vicinity.

As the 28-year-old was out and about in the city, her waters broke and contractions quickly followed. The nurse rushed to her assistance from her realizing that she was going to start giving birth at any moment.

In a follow-up tweet, Emergencias Madrid wrote: ” It happened in Villajoyosa street and the #parto has been very fast. When @SAMUR_PC arrived, the baby had already been born with the help of a nurse who helped the mother on the street After cutting the cord they examined both of them and they were in perfect condition.”

Ha ocurrido en la calle Villajoyosa y el #parto ha sido muy rápido. Cuando ha llegado @SAMUR_PC la bebé ya había nacido con la ayuda de una enfermera que ha auxiliado a la madre en la calle.
