    Witness: Naked attacker was chewing man’s face

    By The Associated Press


    MIAMI — A witness says a naked man chewing on the face of another naked man on a downtown highway ramp kept eating and growled at a police officer who tried to make him stop.
    Larry Vega told WSVN-TV in Miami that he was riding his bicycle Saturday afternoon off the MacArthur Causeway into downtown Miami when he saw the savage attack on the bridge’s off-ramp. The causeway connects downtown Miami with Miami Beach.
    “The guy was, like, tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, ‘Get off!’” Vega said. “The guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin.”
    Vega flagged down a Miami police officer, who he said repeatedly ordered the attacker to get off the victim. The attacker just picked his head up and growled at the officer, Vega said.
    As the attack continued, Vega said the officer shot the attacker, who continued chewing the victim’s face. The officer fired again, killing the attacker.
    Miami police have released few details about the attack, other than confirming that there had been a fatal officer-involved shooting.
    Detective William Moreno said Sunday that neither man’s identity had been determined. Messages left Monday for a police spokesman were not immediately returned.
    The victim was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. A spokeswoman said Monday that the hospital would not be releasing any information about him.
    A surveillance video camera from The Miami Herald building nearby captured images of the men’s naked legs lying side by side after the shooting.
    Vega said the victim appeared gravely injured.
    “It was just a blob of blood,” Vega said. “You couldn’t really see, it was just blood all over the place.”

    Yikes!! This report says it might have been a form of LSD or bath salts that caused the behavior by the attacker. The victim has had 75% of his face chewed off and is in critical condition.

    Wow. Besides Cell, it's kinda like Hannibal with that face cover thing. Bath salts? Heard of it, but don't understand it. Wow

    That is truly freaky especially warning him off with a growl

    ...and people think I'm loopy for believing in the Zombie Apocalypse....it may not be caused by some weird ray from Outer Space-just a stew of weird chemicals right here on good old Terra Firma....

    It's definatley strange. Does remind one of a zombie apocalyps. It will be interesting to see how the vitim responds, although, in my gut I certainly believe to be something drug related or some sort of mental thing...but one never know for sure.
    Either way, it definatley deserves a...

    A very bizarre story indeed. The article states that the attacker appeared to be like a feral animal, which as far as I know can be related to a drug induced frenzy.

    I have been reading on this new drug "bath salts" and my hubby had to go to a meeting about it and this is one damn scary drug.

    I just saw the pictures of the victim Ronald Poppo in the Village Voice. Holy freaking ****e. Really horrible. He looks like hamburger meat with an eyeball and a goatee. I can't recommend searching for the picture. Especially if you are sensitive. I don't care how much Stephen King you read, this is above and beyond the whole lot of what ever is awful.
    I would bet the farm that Rudy Eugene was tripping on bath salts. Really horrible stuff. Here is a link to one person's experience with this nasty garbage.
