Summoned by a friend, officers found the victim unconscious and barely breathing with a syringe sticking out of his leg Saturday afternoon, Police Chief Robert Kugler told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

Officers Adam Georgaros and Darrin Williams administered a dosage of Narcan and the man came around, the chief said.

Saddle Brook Ambulance and paramedics responded and took him to Hackensack University Medical Center, where he was reported in stable condition.
