On Monday last week (June 18), a woman gave birth to a baby boy, surrounded by commuters, on a train in Paris.
According to CNN, the child was delivered at around 11h40, with the train held at Paris’s Auber station. Trains were paused in both directions for around 45 minutes, with the reason for the delay on station screens reading “unexpected birth of baby at Auber station”.
The boy has now been given free rail travel throughout the city until the age of 25. The mother, we assume, still has to pay.
