An alarming video showing a man in a medical mask passed out on the sidewalk in the Queens borough of New York City has raised concerns that the incident might be connected to coronavirus.
NYPD officers responded to the Flushing neighborhood at 1.28pm on Tuesday, after the 25-year-old man apparently fainted on Main Street and hit his head on the sidewalk, a police source told DailyMail.com.
Paramedics rushed the man to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens hospital. The source said the man was expected to survive but had no other information about his symptoms or condition.
A spokesperson for the hospital did not immediately respond to a phone message from DailyMail.com late on Tuesday.
