Police Scotland’s Armed Policing unit revealed the hero antics of their officers on Twitter.
They wrote: “Our officers were in the right place at the right time this morning in Aberdeen when a baby girl made a slightly earlier than expected arrival.

The officers were applauded for their actions with Twitter user Martin Duthie writing: “Not all heroes wear capes!”
And Mari Fleming added: “Well done, always expecting the unexpected.”
