ABC News Senior Foreign Correspondent Jim Sciutto took to Twitter to announce the birth of a baby boy–delivered “at home by his dad” along with an assist from “Nick and Ruth” from the London Ambulance Service.

Sciutto, who calls them “EMS heroes” says things happened fast. “Turns out the little man was in a rush.” Sciutto says the EMS arrived just two minutes before the baby was born to help dad with the delivery.

Here’s the “birth announcement” from Twitter:

Sciutto’s been an active Twitter-er on his overseas assignments like protests in Iran over the death of Neda, a young woman killed at the hands of Iranian police and captured on video.

Congratulations to Jim, his wife and family!

Fact: Mandatory healthcare in London would have made him wait for care anyway. He would have had to do it himself no matter where he drove her. Good job on the delivery.

Question: So I guess you experienced this yourself in England? Congratulations on your English-born child!

And of course, congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Scuitto.
