PHOTOS: Five adults were treated for suspected drug overdoses early Wednesday outside a bar in downtown Austin, with one patient found in respiratory arrest, authorities said.
Austin-Travis County EMS, Austin Fire Department and Austin police were called to the 300 block of East Sixth Street at about 2:20 a.m. after 911 dispatchers received multiple calls reporting overdose symptoms among people in and around Shakespeare’s bar, EMS Capt. Christa Stedman said.
All five patients received Narcan, with some requiring multiple doses from both first responders and bystanders at the scene, Stedman said.
EMS transported four of the patients to area hospitals in stable condition, including the patient who had been in respiratory arrest. The fifth patient refused transport. Six ambulances, two community health paramedics and three EMS commanders responded to the scene, according to Stedman.
