(NEW YORK) -- A 25-year-old woman gave birth to a baby girl on a NYC subway train Wednesday morning, according to Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials. At approximately 11:32 a.m., passengers on a southbound W train alerted the conductor that a woman was giving birth inside one of the cars, according to the MTA.

A packed train in Manhattan quickly turned into a delivery room and straphangers became midwives, as riders banded together to deliver a baby when the mother went into labor while aboard the subway. The 25-year-old went into labor while she was aboard an uptown W train at the 34th Street Herald Square stop around 11:30 a.

The NYC subway welcomed what may be its youngest rider ever after a woman gave birth on the W train. ABC 7 reports that a 25-year-old woman gave birth to a baby girl on Feb. 13 around 11:30 AM on a southbound W train.

A few months pregnant and diagnosed with schizophrenia, the woman disappeared in late 2024. Her mother and sister were shocked to see a TikTok video where she appeared giving birth on Wednesday aboard a subway train in NYC.
