Miami Police Shoot and Kill Naked Man 'Eating' Face of Another Man

"There was some sort of confrontation."

Miami police shot and killed a naked man on Saturday whom witnesses said was eating the face of another man, the Miami Herald reported:

According to 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. Meanwhile, a woman also saw the incident and flagged down a police officer who was in the area.

The officer, who has not been identified, approached and, seeing what was happening, also ordered the naked man to back away. When he continued the assault, the officer shot him, police sources said. The attacker failed to stop after being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.

The attack occurred around 2 p.m. on a pedestrian walkway just south of the Herald's offices.

With the attacker dead, lying nude on the pavement, officers and paramedics were able to get to his victim and rush him to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Police sources say the man had virtually no face and was unrecognizable.

WPLG-TV:

Larry Vega said he witnessed the attack, writing to Local 10, "I stopped a City of Miami police officer and informed him that a homeless man was killing another person by biting and ripping his face to death."

Vega also said, "The police officer confronted the aggressor, and he was like a rabid dog and confronted the officer. Then the officer shot the person four times."

According to the Herald, investigators believe the attacker may have been suffering from "cocaine psychosis" -- a "drug-induced craze that bakes the body internally and often leads the affected to strip naked and try to cool off."

Police believe the victim may have been homeless and laying down when the attacker pounced.

"They attempted to separate them, there was some sort of confrontation," Det. Willie Moreno of the Miami Police Department told WPLG.

Police have not released the names of the men or the officers involved.
