Police BaltimoreAt least 25 people were taken to the West Baltimore hospital after suspected drug overdose.
Referring to officials from the region’s fire service, the US partner of the BBC CBS News said five people were taken in critical condition with others in serious condition.
The incident, which took place near the crossing of the road in the Peng -Northern city area on Thursday morning, led to the Maryland Transport Department, which closed the neighboring subway station, while the roads were also blocked.
The head of the fire service James Wallace told reporters that the emergency services were sent to several people suspected of overdosing members of the public.
He said that people were found on two intersecting avenues, as well as on the platforms of the subway and along the oils after the initial response at about 9:20 local time (14:20 BST), CBS reports.
Officials did not name any substance that was believed to participate.
Baltimo police posted on Thursday that they and the fire service were at the crossroads “against many persons who experience the symptoms of overdose.”
The police service asked people to avoid the territory because several streets were blocked and the buses were blocked.
The city’s state prosecutor Ivan Bates said the incident “serves as a powerful reminder of the current battle of our city against the apioid epidemic.”
He added that his office would support an ambulance and the Health Department in his work to find out what happened.
Governor Maryland Wes Moore also stated that his team coordinates with state bodies, city authorities and the first respondents on Thursday.
“I am grateful to those who quickly warned us about this situation, and those who support society,” Mr. Moore said.
Separately, the update from the mayor of Brandon Scott gave advice to residents who use drugs; Including never to use alone and wear naloxon or drug addicts – they can be collected free of charge from the city health department.
