ATLANTIC CITY - A man suffering symptoms of a possible heart attack was airlifted from a boat 85 miles off the city's coast Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

A crew member from the 51-foot Miss Shauna, based in New Bedford, Mass., called the Coast Guard at 2:13 p.m. to report a 30-year-old man was having symptoms, the Coast Guard said. A helicopter crew from Air Station Atlantic City airlifted the man to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Md.

The man, whose name was not released, is now in stable condition, the Coast Guard said.
