VIDEO: A newborn baby appears to be okay after being born on a sidewalk in Exposition Park Monday night. Firefighters were sent to the 3800 block of South Figueroa Street around 11:30 p.m. to assist a woman who went into labor. The woman’s water apparently broke while she was walking on the sidewalk. Firefighters helped as the woman delivered the baby and then cut the umbilical cord, stringer news service RMG News reported. Video showed firefighters wrapping the baby in a towel and then handing the newborn over to mom. Both mother and child were taken to a local hospital for evaluation, but appeared to be okay.
