Man Chews Other Mans Face

Warning this story may be too disturbing for some readers. I found this story in the Illinois State Journal-Register Newspaper. May 29, 2012. Page 4.

Miami - A witness says a naked man chewing on the face of another naked man on a downtown highway ramp kept eating and growling 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 to 'get off!' Vega said. "The guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin." The slain man was identified by the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner's Office as Rudy Eugene, 31, Miami television station WFOR reported. Vega flagged down a Miami police officer, who he said repeatedly ordered the attacker to get off the victom. 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 the victim's identity had not 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 laying side by side after the shooting. Vega said the victim appeared gravely injured. "It was just a blob of blood," said Vega. "You couldn't really see, it was just blood all over the place.
