Suffolk County police said they revived a man who had overdosed on opiates in North Great River early Sunday.
Police responded to a call at 12:05 a.m. reporting an unconscious man at a location on Sea Cliff Street. When they arrived, they found that the 25-year-old man had overdosed.
After Officer Paul Ruotolo gave the man intranasal Narcan, a prescription drug used to reverse overdoses of opiates, the man was revived. He was taken to Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, police said.
