Body camera footage from Monday night shows UCF police saving a young man's life by giving him two doses of Narcan.

His friends called 911 after they couldn't find a hospital.

DISPATCHER: “Tell me exactly what happened sir?”

CALLER: “My friend just stopped breathing. I don't know exactly what happened to him. I'm driving right now to UCF. He took an Oxycodone.”

The dispatcher got the caller to pull over, take the man out of the car and give him CPR until help arrived.

UCF police shared the video to help raise awareness about what to do in the event of an overdose.

WESH 2’s Gail Paschall-Brown showed the footage to UCF student Evannrue Cox. She said the video surprised her.

"I carry Narcan in my purse in case of situations like this. You can get it from the Student Health Services for free. There are also organizations online you can get it for free. This is two doses just like in the video, so it's funny you stopped me,” Cox said.

On the body cam video you can hear the officer say: "This thing right here saved his life."

“I mean that's what it's for. We are on a college campus so a lot of people are using drugs here. Plus, in general, people use drugs.” Cox said.

The man, who is not a UCF student, was taken to the hospital.

"I think it’s incredible they're really trying to help the kid because a lot of people are afraid to call for help. In these situations, they're afraid you could get in trouble, you know?” UCF student Randy McClean said.

Police say Florida's 911 Good Samaritan Act offers immunity from charge, prosecution, and penalization if you seek medical attention for someone overdosing.

UCF police officers have carried Narcan on them since 2015. This marks the seventh time they've used it.

“It's free, it's literally no skin off my back. I just had to fill out a form to get it and like who knows, I could literally save somebody's life,” Cox said.

UCF Police say Narcan became available earlier this fall at the UCF Pharmacy.

It's free and with no questions asked for students, faculty and staff.
