Ladies And Gentlemen, Due To A Passenger In Labor At The East Broadway Station . . .

We’ve heard of giving birth in the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, but giving birth in the East Broadway F train station is even better:

A baby girl named Soleil — French for sun — lit up a Manhattan subway station with joy Monday.

The little bit of heaven — 6 pounds, 7 ounces and 15 inches from head to toe – was born on the East Broadway F train platform with the help of more than a dozen concerned New Yorkers.

Home attendant Max Alfontent and his wife, Francine, both 27, left their Brooklyn home and hopped an F train about 3 p.m. after the mom-to-be started feeling her first child was thisclose to arriving.

“We were going to Bellevue Hospital,” said an ecstatic Max, “but we didn’t make it. My wife started feeling funny on the train so I told the conductor and he called ahead to the station.”

“When we pulled in I put her down on the platform and her water broke. I was happy the baby was coming, but I have to admit I was a little bit scared.”

Moral of the story: When your pregnant wife is in labor, it is best to take a cab.
