Wyckoff Police Use Narcan to Revive Man Overdosing on Heroin

A man who was overdosing on heroin was revived Tuesday when Wyckoff Police used Narcan to save his life.

Family members had administered CPR on an unresponsive 26-year-old Wyckoff male before police determined ”he was unresponsive due to a heroin overdose,” Wyckoff Police Chief Benjamin C. Fox said. The man was revived after being injected with Narcan, which is used to counteract a heroin or opiate overdose.

The man was brought to the hospital for additional care, Chief Fox said.

Wyckoff Police were assisted by Midland Park Police and the Wyckoff Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
