Oh, you want a serious title?

Naked Man Attempts to Eat Other Man's Face.

No, seriously.

The Miami Herald said:
MIAMI — The naked man who tried to eat another man's face before he was shot dead by police was identified Monday.

The Miami Herald reported that the attacker was 31-year-old Rudy Eugene.

The man he attacked remained in extremely critical condition Sunday night at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Much of his face was gone, the skin ripped away, the nose bitten and the eyes gouged.

What remained was his goatee and little else.

"We're hoping that he pulls through, for his well-being, but also so he can tell us what happened," said Sgt. Javier Ortiz, vice president of the Miami police union. "Only he knows."

The victim still had not been officially identified Monday.

The macabre scene unfolded about 2 p.m. Saturday on the MacArthur Causeway's off-ramp to Biscayne Boulevard. A Road Ranger spotted the men and shouted on his loudspeaker for the naked attacker to back away. A woman also saw what was happening and flagged down an officer.

One witness said he was riding his bicycle on the MacArthur when he saw a man tearing off pieces of the victim's flesh with his mouth. After an officer approached, Larry Vega told WSVN-FOX7, "The guy just stood, his head up like that, with pieces of flesh in his mouth. And he growled."

The officer fired, striking the attacker, but the man kept chewing, Vega said. The officer fired again, hitting him several more times, eventually killing him.

After that, Vega said, all he saw was blood.

"It's one of the most gruesome things I've ever seen in my life in person," he told the station.

The name of the officer who fired the fatal shots was not released Monday.

Eugene left behind few clues as to what could have prompted the attack. According to court records, he married Jenny Ductant on Dec. 15, 2005, in Hollywood. The marriage ended in divorce after a little more than two years.

"I wouldn't say he had mental problem but he always felt like people was against him. … No one was for him, everyone was against him," his ex-wife told WPLG.

He had just one arrest to suggest serious violence. Miami Beach police arrested him on a battery charge when he was 16, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The charge was later dropped.

He was arrested seven other times over five years. Court records show that one was for misdemeanor battery, one was for vending near a school, one was for trespassing and four involved marijuana. The last case came in September 2009. In January, the charge was dropped.

Security video from the adjacent Miami Herald building captured snippets of Saturday's violence as the two men — one dead, the other gravely injured and wearing only a shirt — lay on the sidewalk as officers arrived.

Days later, the chatter, theories and questions continued.

An emergency room doctor at Jackson Memorial Hospital said Eugene's attack could have been induced by bath salts, a drug nicknamed after the bathroom product it resembles.

Police theorized earlier that it was "cocaine psychosis," a drug-induced craze.

Now, I don't know about you guys, but World War Z has taught me well.

*closes suit case*

*waves*

See y'all in Cuba.
 
this is very peculiar. most likely just crazy or high, though you never know. hope the attacked man receives a healthy recovery
 
That's freaking disgusting. What would possess someone to do this?
 
That guy is going to need a long process of plastic surgery to fully replace his fully bitten face, and this will forever traumatize him.

A twisted mindset and some extensively disgusting culture and habits. This guy was obviously just... evil. No other way to put it.
 
It's clearly not a zombie attack...it's Evangelion Unit-01 influencing the Lilim.
(Spoilers for those who've not seen Neon Genesis Evangelion)

For those not in the know, I tend to make jokes like that when something actually manages to breach my threshold and legitimately horrify me. Dear god, what the hell happened to cause such an attack? We need to locate whatever is causing it and put a stop before it does similar things to people.
 
Now just because some guy is resorting to violent cannibalism, it doesn't constitute a zombie apocalypse. He may have watched too many zombie movies
 
A friend of mine was able to find pictures of the scene and the victim's current state today.

Let's just say I'm not going to post them here.
 
This...is HIGHLY disgusting and disturbing, but that guy could have some disease that messes up a person's brain.

There's an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit that has a similar case, but the attacker didn't try to eat his victims. He just chose random people and killed them. Using different means too. Turns out, the guy was suffering from advanced syphilis, a disease that, as Dr. Huang discribed in the episode, turns your brain to swiss cheese (lol comparision, but he's right).

Now, I know this is a TV show, but it's based on real life stuff. Syphilis is real, murder is real, rape is real, etc.

I think somewhere in the middle of Alaska fared well in that timeline. If publicity for stuff like this does get notoriety this fast I am hoping that a "Zombie Protection Act" passes Congress even though "Grover Carlson" and his ilk disapprove. :p

But seriously though when I first heard about this I was shocked. Then I looked at my shelf and had to take a picture for referece:

the Zombie part is a joke, but the man getting his face bit of isn't.

It's really horrible and terrifying when something like this happens. I hope that the poor man that had his face attacked gets better, and I'm kinda relieved that the man that did this can't hurt anyone else.
 
This is one of the most sickening things I have ever read. Let's hope there's not more people like him *shudders*
 
This is so wrong... so effing wrong...you know, that victim will be deaf, blind, and agoraphobic for the rest of his life.

At least they killed that psycho.

here's the meme version, to soften the blow.

ALL YOUR FACE ARE BELONG TO US YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO DISFIGUREMENT YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME.


Cop:For great justice. BLAMMO!



Still, that whole situation is just wrong...WRONG, WRONG!!
