Oh boy!: Bystanders help a mum deliver a baby boy on a road

Video footage has caught the incredible moment passersby rushed to help a woman who had gone into labour on a Chinese street.

Passersby noticed the woman in intense pain on June 8 in Zhengzhou, central China's Henan province.

When they realised she was in labour, they created a make-shift delivery room and the child was born some 10 minutes later.

According to CGTN, the mother was attempting to get a taxi upon realising she had gone into labour.

However once the taxi arrived, she was in too much pain.

Passersby rushed to give her some privacy by using blankets and umbrellas while others called for an ambulance.

Footage shows the moment onlookers joined forces to help the woman.

The baby boy was born before the ambulance arrived and was taken to hospital with its mother to be given a check-up.
