East Windsor police used Naloxone to revive a man suffering a heroin overdose, police said.
Monday around 7 p.m. officers were called to a home on Santic Road for a reported heroin overdose. When they arrived they found a male lying in the kitchen floor unresponsive. His breathing was labored and his hands had turned blue, police said.
The male was revived when an officer gave him two doses of a nasal form of naloxone. He was taken to the hospital for further treatment.
The patient was not identified.
East Windsor police said their officers have been carrying the nasal version of Naloxone since 2014 after training by the East Windsor Ambulance Association.
This is the fifth incident where an officer has used Naloxone to reverse an overdose.
