Village police said a man left a woman who was suffering from a heroin overdose on the sidewalk of St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital and fled sometime Sunday evening.

Reports said police were called to an address on Sandy Drive, where witnesses reported a man dragged a woman out of a home and put her in a car, then drove away at high speed, almost striking several bystanders.
