AKRON, Ohio -- A 1-year-old boy was revived with Narcan after he overdosed on opioids Thursday evening, Akron police said.

Emergency crews were called at 6:22 p.m. to a home on Gale Street in Akron after the boy's 9-year-old sibling noticed he wasn't breathing, Lt. Rick Edwards said.

Paramedics arrived and administered at least one dose of Narcan before taking the toddler to Akron Children's Hospital to be treated.

Edwards said the boy was revived at the hospital after he was given additional doses of the drug, which can block or reverse the drowsiness, slowed breathing and loss of consciousness from an overdose of opioid drugs, such as heroin and fentanyl.

It was unclear how many doses were needed to revive the child or what drug he overdosed on.

Edwards said the drugs belonged to the boy's mother who ran from the home after paramedics and police arrived. She has not been located.

Both children were taken into custody by Summit County Children Services.
