UPPER DARBY / PENNSYLVANIA — Look closely at what's in the hand of the passenger closest to the bus security camera.
Upper Darby Police in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, released this video showing 25-year-old Michael Meeney shooting heroin on a public bus. But what happens next might stop your heart – literally.
Meeney starts nodding out from the effects of the heroin, but it's too much for his body to handle. He passes out in the middle of the aisle.
Police were called to the scene where Officer Matt Rugh administered a nasal version of the opiate antidote Narcan. Meeney was able to walk off the bus and was then transferred to Delaware County Memorial Hospital for treatment.
Michael Chitwood, Upper Darby's police superintendent, said they decided to share the video on Twitter to bring attention to the growing opioid problem in the community. "OK, we saved a life, for what? So they can continue to feed the path of addiction?" Chitwood said to NBC Philadelphia. "They need help. We as a society need to help them."
Meeney may live to see another day, but he was charged with possession of heroin after cops found four baggies of smack in his wallet.
