PAPD Officer Pasquale Carpentiere was on red light enforcement detail at the corner of Hudson and Laight streets when the cabbie got his attention around 11:30 p.m. Thursday, the authority’s Joseph Pentangelo told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

Carpentiere (above, right) requested EMS and delivered the 7½-pound boy, he said.

Officers Jorge Negron and Agostinho Matias (above, left), who also is a registered nurse, arrived soon after and helped stabilize 39-year-old Alertime Antoncik of the Bronx and her child — named Alex Troy Nareisse — until EMS arrived, Pentangelo said.

Both were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where Carpentire and Matias visited them yesterday.
