An American McDonald's bathroom became a makeshift hospital after a customer went into labour.

Paramedics and officers from the Madera Police Department in California were called to the fast food joint on Monday night after an emergency call.

Upon arrival, they saw there was not enough time to get the expectant mother to the hospital.

Acting quickly, they cleared the bathroom and helped as paramedics delivered a healthy baby boy.

"It's not every day you get to help deliver a new born baby at McDonald's," the police department wrote on Facebook.

"The mother and baby were both transported to the hospital and they are both doing well."
