“Thanks to a fast-acting bystander who administered Narcan, all survived,” the fire department’s statement continued. Someone on staff at Paprika, a restaurant on 24th Street across from the southwest BART Plaza, said he saw three men who appeared to be using drugs in Osage Alley, which runs on the western edge of the plaza. The alley is visible from the restaurant’s front window.
A firetruck, ambulance, and police officers surrounded the southwest plaza near the Muni bus stop and the restaurant Snackeria at about 6:00 p.m., said Marco, who was watching from his vantage point near McDonalds. “Somebody told me somebody fell down on the floor.” By the time he arrived, the incident was over.
