The man, in his forties was immidiately taken to hopital for treatment.
An air ambulance, an emergency care practitioner and two land ambulances attended the medical episode.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: "At 14.20pm today, police were called by the ambulance service to reports of a male suffering a cardiac arrest on Leaventhorpe Lane, Bradford.
"The male, in his forties was taken to hospital for treatment."
The patient was rushed to hospital via land ambulance.
Although the emergency helicopter did not carry the patient to hospital, sometimes there might be a doctor onboard with a higher level of clinical care who can prove to be extremely useful.
A Yorkshire Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We got a call at 2.10pm to reports of a male who had collapsed in Leaventhorpe Lane in the vicinity of the school and the recreational centre.
"We sent two ambulances, the air ambulance and an emergency care practitioner to the scene.
"The patient was taken to hospital by land ambulance."
