A Seattle police officer pulled over a speeding car early Sunday morning, only to discover a woman in labor inside.

As there was not enough time to get to the hospital, the patrolman ended up helping the expectant mother deliver her baby daughter right in the car - and the entire incident was caught on a police dashboard camera.

Patrolman Anthony Reynolds stopped a car he saw speeding through red lights along Martin Luther King Jr Way South at around 3.45am Sunday, Seattle police said in a statement.

Special delivery: With no time to waste, Reynolds and three other cops who arrived on the scene helped welcome the newborn baby girl into the world

As the officer approached the vehicle, the father-to-be, identified by KOMO News as Abdul Abdashiek, jumped out of the driver's side and begged the officer to let him keep going to a hospital.

'She's in labor man!' the panicked driver is heard shouting in the dashcam video. 'Let me go, man. I can make it.'

Officer Reynolds replies that there is an ambulance on the way and tries to convince the man that it will be safer for his wife and baby to wait for the medics.

But the baby had other plans in mind.

Moments later, as three more officers arrived on the scene for assistance, the mother-to-be screamed out: ‘Oh my god, the baby is coming out!’

'The couple's baby was determined to beat medics to the scene,’ police said, adding that the officers witnessed the 'miracle of childbirth.'

After her first full-throated cry, the newborn began struggling to breathe, but Officer Reynolds was able to clear the baby's airway and got her breathing again.

The ambulance then arrived and whisked the mother and daughter to an area hospital in stable condition.

An audio recording of the birth, including the baby's first cries, was captured by the officers, as was video footage of the new father thanking each of the assisting officers with a handshake and a hug.

The Seattle Police Blotter, the department's official blog, reported that Abdashiek and his wife, Maly Yusuf, later sent them a note thanking the officers for their heroic actions.

'You have helped deliver a precious gift,' the message read. 'We are so grateful.'
