Two police officers who were first on the scene as a woman gave birth in the back of a car have been reunited with the baby they helped care for.

They had been taking part in a routine traffic operation in Ballymena, County Antrim, on 9 October when they were approached by the father running towards them.

Constable Campbell, who has been in the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) for almost two years, said it wasn't something they were expecting.
