DOVER - The Boston Celtics honored Wentworth-Douglass Security Officer Andy Clark at Wednesday's NBA game for his lifesaving efforts during the September birth of a baby in the hospital's parking lot.

On Sept.12, Clark rushed to a vehicle, parked just outside the hospital's Garrison Wing entrance, after a patient gave birth to a baby in her car. Clark assisted the child by unwrapping the umbilical cord that was wrapped around its neck.

Clark and his family received VIP treatment from the team, and he was given a standing ovation by a sold out crowd at the TD Garden prior to the Celtics game against Detroit.
