A mother has been rushed to hospital after giving birth to a child at Notting Hill Carnival.
London Ambulance Services were called to reports of a person in labour “within the footprint” of the street carnival at 6.45pm on Sunday.
“We treated an adult and baby at the scene and took them to hospital as a priority,” a spokesperson told the Standard.
A video posted to social media shows a number of officers circling around a woman who is kneeling on the street, groaning, while throngs of people look on.
Some can be heard asking: “Is she having a baby?” while others try and speak to officers.
The incident comes after two people were injured after a bus shelter collapsed onto a crowd of revellers.
