An Oregon woman gave birth on the sidewalk of a Portland street and and abandoned the baby before walking away covered in blood and amniotic fluid, police say.
EMS and first responders arrived at SW 13th Ave and SW Market St just before 11 am on Wednesday after receiving reports of a woman, who was not identified, that had given birth on the sidewalk.
'Someone just gave birth and left the baby here. Mom is walking away bleeding,' an unidentified caller told 911.
Incidentally, Officer Nathan Kirby-Glatkowski and his partner happened to be in the area in search of a serial burglar when they got the call.
'It's a cold day; it wasn't raining at that moment, but it was raining earlier, and the sidewalk at Southwest 13th and Market is no place to deliver a baby alone,' Kirby-Glatkowski said.
The PPB Central Bike Squad also thanked community members who immediately covered up the baby and called 911.
Kirby-Glatkowski said that when he and his partner arrived to the scene, paramedics were already evaluating the newborn baby.
'They said the mother, the woman, was stumbling away eastbound on Market with a lot of blood and amniotic fluid all over her,' Kirby-Glatkowski explained.
Paramedics attending to the child told Kirby-Glatkowski that the baby appeared to be in good health, allowing the officers to pursue the mother, who had been spotted stumbling nearby.
The mother appeared to be undergoing a mental health episode, authorities added, and was uncooperative before being taken to the hospital.
'Officers then caught up with the mother nearby,' said the Portland Police Bureau.
'She was evaluated and placed on a police officer hold to get a mental health evaluation. She and her baby, a girl, were transported to the hospital by ambulance.'

Flori-duh just dropped to 2nd weirdest state.
But her family and baby’s father, where are they?
Mentally ill women on the streets have no judgement and can be dangerously promiscuous. The leftist mental health system has made it that no relative can have control over the severely mentally ill if they do not cooperate.
And they don’t.
People think that the laws and the courts will help families protect their Mentally ill family member. Not happening.
Really?
You know?
Wish her a Happy Mother’s Day when you get older kid.
Shes not mentally ill.
Women who do evil things are always defaulted to being mentally ill. B fricking S.
Or low blood sugar and confusion due to gestational diabetes.
“About seven out of every 100 pregnant women in the United States get gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is diabetes that happens for the first time when a woman is pregnant. Most of the time, it goes away after you have your baby. But it does increase your risk for developing type 2 diabetes later on. Your child is also at risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes.””
I suppose we should wait for additional information.
USA 2022.
Good job enlightened democrats!
Woman's NAME?!
"Taw-NeeShuh Sha-Bagg," or some such nonsense?!

“Taw-NeeShuh Sha-Bagg,” or some such nonsense?!
Not necessarily. The black neighborhoods of Portland are in a different part of the city.
Homeless white drug addict with mental health issues is more likely.
“Thank you dems for this really screwed up mental health system”
Missing from ALL web references: Why she was on the street. The intelligent among us can presume the obvious.
Dems certainly did give Oregon the combination of homelessness and “urban streetborne mental health” and it continues to worsen every year no matter how much money they throw at the problem.
Irony: The $$ they proclaimed to have saved by shuttering mental health facilities have been eclipsed by expenditures on homeless and crime, to state nothing of the social consequences of such deviant policies.
But don’t expect the media to pose those questions to dem leadership at the city or state level on the left coast.
Forget it Jake. It’s Portland.
Odds are.
I’ve been to Portland.
