PC Dan Wells was on his way back to Fulham Police station when he noticed a BMW driving erratically.
Michael Nadel had actually overtaken the police car to ask for help as his wife Natalia was in labour, reports the Daily Telegraph.
PC Wells said: "I was about to have words with him about the way he was driving and then he said his wife was having a baby."
Mr Nadel, 39, returned to his wife Natalia, 31, but seconds later came back to the police to tell them the labour was moving faster than expected.
The Russian couple from Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, were on their way to the Portland Hospital in central London when Mrs Nadel started having contractions.
Pc Wells opened the door and saw Mrs Nadel pushing the baby, when he noticed something was not right.
"The head was out and it was kind of blue. We could see the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby's neck," he said.
He quickly unwrapped the umbilical cord which was suffocating the baby's neck and restoring the oxygen supply to the infant. Baby Nikol, a girl, was born at 3am and weighed 6.4lbs.
Mr Nadel, a banker, said: "It was very dramatic. I'd like to say thanks to him. The policeman really helped us."
