One man is dead and another hospitalized after a bizarre assault off Miami's MacArthur Causeway reportedly forced a police officer to open fire.

City of Miami police say the incident began Saturday afternoon about 2 p.m. when an officer responded to reports of 2 men fighting in the bike path of the Biscayne Boulevard exit ramp, alongside the Miami Herald's parking garage. There, according to the Herald, the officer observed a naked man eating another man's face:

The officer...approached and saw that the naked man was actually chewing the other man's head, according to witnesses. The officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he continued the assault, the officer shot him.

The attacker continued to eat the man, despite being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.

According to CBS Miami, police sources said the victim had "virtually no face" and was unrecognizable.

"[Officers] attempted to separate them, there was some sort of confrontation," Miami Police spokesman Willie Moreno told Local10.

Photographs taken from the Herald's garage show the naked man lying dead at the scene. Police said his victim was transported to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Officials have yet to identify the officer involved, the deceased, or the victim. The incident snarled traffic on the causeway for hours during busy Memorial Day weekend as multiple lanes of vehicles were routed around the crime scene.

UPDATE, 5/27: While Miami Police remain tight-lipped about the incident, investigators are asking witnesses to contact authorities. The Herald reports detectives believe the victim may have been homeless and the naked man suffering from "cocaine psychosis," which could have prompted him to remove his clothing.

well, i thought it was interesting anyway...

I can understand why he was eating the face but why was he naked is a real mystery.

nice day in miami?

You think sun tanning?

Obviously, the dude was unarmed.

What's with the lethal force??



Justice fo' da' face-eatin' Zombie.

i would have to side with the police on this one... first off, he was naked, so no need to wrestle around with him, and he was eating a guys face off... no need for a trial here...

beware of sun tan lotion and nudists







i think zombies have something to do with the neutron bomb

ww3

Zombies get mistaken for pervs then, i take it.

sorry double postage

It's beginning!

Run Away!

Flee!!!

Seriously, I read this earlier today and wondered what the cop must have thought when he came upon this situation. Weird.

get out them 10-Gauges!


On a serious note,I wonder what Drug-Cocktail that Fellow had ingested previously.

Of course it was drugs.... never "legal" drugs, but cocaine induced....

Gotta keep the drug war profits and prohibition speak going cuz people are getting fed up with the cost and abuses that come with it.... They can't afford to lose that excuse or their trillion dollar money train!

exactly... a study was done not long ago and they found out that "legal" pharms kill more people than cocaine and heroin combined... but it is easier to say it was illegal drugs that do the damage... can anyone say "controlled media?"

Oh but he was black. Bet the other guy was white thats why they didnt say. The police should have done something different. Hope none of his relatives want to complain.

The officer probably watches "The Living Dead" on television and when he saw that he freaked out.

I don't blame him. Geeeeze.

I wonder if they carry tasers

but the piece I read did say the first bullet didnt stop him

and BOTH the top and the bottom were nude,,so Im definitely thinking drugs,,,,

Or zombies.
