Police: Narcan Saves Overdose Victim in Levittown

An overdose victim was revived using Narcan Monday afternoon in Levittown, Nassau police said.

According to police, a 911 call was received reporting a 27-year-old man as unconscious and barely breathing in the rear yard of a Peacock Lane home, apparently due to an overdose, police said.

Upon the arrival of police, two doses of Narcan, a powerful opiate antidote, were administered to the man at about 4:15 p.m. The man began to breath, regained consciousness and was transferred to an area hospital by Nassau County Ambulance Bureau for further evaluation and treatment.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced plans to make Narcan available for all first responders in the state.
