On Monday night, Dr. Oz and the man were in the baggage claim area when the man collapsed.
"Last night, a man collapsed near me and my family after we arrived at Newark Airport. I performed CPR with the help of a Newark Port Authority police officer and cleared the man's airway," he told Fox News in a statement. "Thankfully, Newark Airport had a defibrillator nearby that we were able to use to save his life."
"As a physician and a human being, it’s our responsibility to jump in when there’s a medical emergency. Another critical reminder of how important it is to take the time to learn how to do CPR and use a defibrillator. You could save a life," he continued.
