Five doses of Narcan saved a Hudson Valley man who was overdosing in the bathroom of a local Cumberland Farms.

On Wednesday around 11:20 a.m., Town of Wallkill police and the Orange County Sheriff's Office responded to Cumberland Farms on East Main Street for a request for emergency medical services.

Responding officers found a 26-year-old Town of Wallkill resident unconscious on the bathroom floor.
