Police Officer Helps Bring New Life on Va. Road

THEY PROBABLY don't train for this at the police academy. A Fairfax County police officer yesterday took an unexpected detour into the world of medicine when he was flagged down on Braddock Road.

The Post's Tom Jackman tells the rest:

Police said Officer Syed Ahmed, a four-year veteran, was on patrol in the Ravensworth area, just west of the Capital Beltway, when a car flashed its headlights at him shortly before 1 p.m., Officer Eddy J. Azcarate said. Ahmed pulled over with the other car at Inverchapel Road and found Jennifer Resner, 36, ready to deliver a baby in the front seat.

Ahmed radioed for a paramedic, but the infant girl would not be delayed. She emerged moments later, with the assistance of Ahmed and her father, Chad Resner.

Azcarate told Jackman that Resner and her baby were taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital and are said to be in good health.
