Reports: Miami Cannibal Attacker May Have Been High on ‘Bath Salts’

CNN Wire Report

A naked man who chewed off the face of another man in what is being
called a zombie-like attack may have been under the influence of “bath
salts,” a drug referred to as the new LSD, according to reports from CNN
affiliates in Miami.

The horrific attack occurred Saturday and was only stopped after a police officer shot the attacker several times, killing him.

Larry Vega witnessed the attack on Miami’s MacArthur Causeway. He
told CNN affiliate WSVN he saw one naked man chewing off the face of
another naked man.

“The guy was like tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told
him, ‘Get off!’” Vega told WSVN. “You know it’s like the guy just kept
eating the other guy away, like ripping his skin.”

“It was just a blob of blood,” WSVN quoted Vega as saying. “You couldn’t really see, it was just blood all over the place.”

Vega said he flagged down a passing police officer.

“When the officer approached him, told him to stop, pointed a gun at
him, he turned around and growled like a wild animal and kept eating at
the man’s face,” Fraternal Order of Police President Armando Aguilar
told CNN affiliate WPLG.

Augilar said he suspects the attacker, identified as 31-year-old Rudy
Eugene, was under the influence of “bath salts.” Four other drug use
instances in Miami-Dade bear resemblances to Saturday’s attack, he told
WPLG. READ MORE>>>
