A police officer in Newark helped deliver a baby in a McDonald's bathroom on Wednesday.
She went in for a burger and came out with a baby - with the help of a hero cop.
Officer James Kniepp assisted in the deliver of a baby boy Wednesday afternoon in the bathroom of a McDonald's in Newark, authorities said.
The cop was driving past the burger joint in the Central Ward neighborhood when a diner flagged him down and said a woman was in labor, cops said.
Kniepp met the mom-to-be in the bathroom and coached her into staying calm while he successfully delivered her son.
"I saw the baby's head and simply maneuvered the child's body to a position where the mother was able to easily deliver," the 24-year veteran officer told the Newark Star-Ledger.
"I am not an EMT, I just pulled from what I remember learning from my academy days."
The new mom and her little Mac were taken to Beth Israel Medical Center in Newark.
The boy was two months premature, but both he and his mom are doing fine, police said.
Neither was identified by police.
