New details in the case of a homeless Miami man fighting for his life after a naked man
savagely attacked him and chewed off most of his face. Miami’s WSVN has the gruesome
witness account of Larry Vega.
“He was ripping into his face with his teeth. He was ripping his skin, his neck. You know,
he had him held down and he was just tearing into his flesh.”
Vega was able to flag down a nearby police officer that approached the zombie man, but
the head of the Fraternal Order of Police tells Miami’s WPLG, that man was in a different
state of mind.
“When the officer actually approached him and pointed a gun at him, he growled like
a wild animal and kept eating the man’s face.”
The Miami Herald reports the man continued his attack even after the officer shot him
the first time. WFOR reports, police suspect the man was under the influence of a new,
more potent type of LSD, which has been linked to several other bizarre, naked crimes in
the area.
Armando Aguilar: “Their body temperature reaches such a high degree that they have
to take their clothes off because they are basically melting from the inside.”
Vega told local reporters he can’t get the image of the attack out of his head. The Gothamist
reports, Vega is so upset by what he saw, he’s considering moving his family to South
Florida.
“It’s going to take some time to forget. I never thought I would see someone else eating
someone. It was really, really horrific.”
The victim has been hospitalized and is in critical condition.
