Officer Julia Minihan found the man laying in the parking lot not breathing and she couldn’t locate a pulse. Officer Minihan administered Narcan to revive the man.

Narcan is an antidote to overdoses of illegal drugs such as heroin and prescription painkillers.

Police said this incident marks the second occasion an East Windsor officer has used Narcan successfully since officers began carrying it in 2014.
