In a scarily real-life scene that conjured up images of a
zombie apocalypse, a man was shot and killed in Miami after attempting to eat
the face off another.
The horror began about 2 p.m. Saturday on the MacArthur
Causeway when a series of gunshots were heard on the ramp, which is along NE
13th Street.
According to Miami police sources, a road ranger saw a naked
man chewing on another man’s face and shouted on his loud speaker for him to
back away.
A passerby also saw it and called the cops. The Miami Herald
building's security cameras captured the incident. Be forewarned, the video is
disturbing ...
The responding officer, who has not been identified, ordered
the naked man to back away immediately. When he continued the assault, the
officer shot him.
The attacker failed to stop eating his victim even after
being shot, forcing the officer to keep firing. Witnesses said they heard at
least a half dozen shots.
The other man was transported to the hospital with critical
injuries, and is fighting for his life, according to police. Neither man's
identity has been released.
The incident, which came as crowds descended upon South
Beach for the annual Urban Beach Week festival, snarled traffic on the causeway
for hours.
In a text message Sunday, Javier Ortiz, spokesman for Miami
police’s Fraternal Order of Police, said the officer who fired the fatal shots
was “a hero.”
Investigators believe the victim may have been homeless, and
the attacker might have been suffering from "cocaine psychosis," a
drug-induced craze.
UPDATE, 5/29:
Rudy Eugene, 31, of N. Miami Beach, has been identified as the attacker. The
name of the victim, still in serious condition, has not been released.
Eugene was reportedly under the influence of cocaine and/or
LSD at the time of the bizarre incident. Follow the above link for additional
details.
