A man running in the Chicago Marathon was revived by a paramedic after suffering an apparent heart attack.
Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said the man, who is in his 60s, fell to the ground at about 9:40 a.m. Sunday at Lake Shore Drive and Melrose Street on the city's North Side. A fire department paramedic used an automatic external defibrillator to restore the man's heart rhythm to normal, according to Langford.
The Chicago Tribune reports that the man was taken by ambulance to a hospital where his condition stabilized. His name was not immediately released.
