MIAMI -- A man whose face and eyes were savagely bitten by a naked attacker in Miami remained in critical condition Sunday, The Miami Herald reported.
The victim was also naked when police saw him being bitten on the face during Saturday's broad daylight attack on the side of a busy Miami road. The assailant was eventually shot dead by police.
Neither man has been identified.
It remains unclear why the attacker pounced on his victim, who police theorized might have been homeless and laying down when the crazed man began the assault.
It was also unclear how both men came to be naked, but police said the attacker might have been suffering from "cocaine psychosis," a drug-induced craze that makes a person very hot, according to The Herald.
The incident happened around 2:00pm local time on the side of the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, near Biscayne Boulevard and just south of The Miami Herald building, the newspaper reported.
According to police sources, a road ranger saw a naked man chewing and biting another man's face and shouted on his loud speaker for the attacker to back away.
The man refused police orders, which led an officer to fire one shot. When the naked man continued his gruesome attack after being wounded, the officer shot and killed him. A witnesses said as many as six shots were fired. Police requested surveillance video from The Herald's building, the newspaper reported.
Javier Ortiz, a spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police in Miami, said the officer who fired the fatal shots was "a hero."
The incident came as thousands of people descended on South Beach for the annual Urban Beach Week hip-hop festival.

Makes me want to stock up on those zombie bullets (or maybe something more powerful - like a 1 gauge punt gun loaded with two pounds of 00 buckshot).If someone like this showed up at my house - he could have 6 or 7 of them - right in the brain stem. I'd stop shooting him as soon as his head was laying out in the road - fully detached from his carcase. Which kit would be the best for this kind of zombie? A Merkava with flechette rounds for the 120? An M-107 ?

Well it is supposed to be meaningless to do that - but what would I know
Personally I don't think I have enough brains left for the zombies to have much of a snack, but maybe just enough meanness to 175 a few of em

Rudy Eugene's mother: Son was "no zombie," should have been tased, not shot - Crimesider - CBS News

(CBS) MIAMI, Fla. - The mother of Rudy Eugene, who attacked a homeless man in Miami and chewed his face before being shot and killed by a police officer, says her son was "a nice kid" who could have been subdued with a Taser rather than deadly gunfire, CBS Miami reports.

The mother, who asked CBS Miami not to reveal her name, said that wasn't her son who she saw on TV - the son who also had two baby brothers, and that "they used to go to church all the time together."
"He was a good kid," she said. "He gave me a nice card on Mother's Day. Everyone says he was a zombie. He was no zombie. That was my son."
On Saturday afternoon, the 31-year-old Eugene was killed by a police officer after a reported 18-minute attack on a homeless man, who police identified as 65-year-old Ronald Poppo. Video of the incident shows Eugene coming across Poppo on a sidewalk along Miami's MacArthur Causeway, stripping clothes off him and eventually chewing on his face.
Poppo was in critical condition at a Miami hospital. Police said he lost 75 percent of his face in the attack.
But Eugene's mother told CBS Miami that she never had problems with him, and it wasn't necessary for police to shoot him.
"They could have tased him," she said. "I saw what happened on TV and I started crying."
Eugene's girlfriend, who also requested anonymity from CBS Miami, said the face-eating attacker she saw on TV was nothing like the man she knew and loved.
"That wasn't him, that was his body but it wasn't his spirit. Somebody did this to him," she said.
"He loved God. He always read the Bible. He would give you knowledge on the Bible. Everywhere he went his Bible went. When he left he had his Bible in his hand."
Eugene's girlfriend described him as a "sweet loving gentleman" and a "hard working man" who worked at a car wash and dreamed of owning his own business. She said she has no idea what caused the attack, but she saw no signs of any violence in the nearly five years they lived together.
Armando Aguilar, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, told CBS Miami that he suspects Eugene was under the influence of an LSD-like drug called "bath salts." The drug contains synthetic stimulants that can "cause chest pains, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, agitation, hallucinations, extreme paranoia, and delusions," according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse.
Sgt. Javier Ortiz, vice president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, said officials won't know for certain whether drugs played a role in the attack until toxicology reports are completed in a month or so. But he said police have been seeing increased incidents of drug-induced crime in the area, according to CNN.
"He was a nice, outgoing, ready-to-help-anybody kind of guy," high school friend Cassandra Metayer told CBS Miami. "Someone in their right mind doesn't do that. This is not the act of a normal person. It has to be someone under the influence."
