MIAMI -- A witness says a naked man chewing on the face of another
naked man on a downtown highway ramp kept eating and growled at a police
officer who fatally shot him to make him stop.
"The guy was, like, tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told
him, `Get off!'" Vega said. "The guy just kept eating the other guy
away, like, ripping his skin."
Vega flagged down a Miami police officer, who he said
repeatedly ordered the attacker to get off the victim. The attacker just
picked his head up and growled at the officer, Vega said.
As the attack continued, Vega said the officer shot the attacker, who
continued chewing the victim's face. The officer fired again, killing
the attacker.
Miami police have released few details about the attack, other than
confirming that there was a fatal officer-involved shooting. The name of
the victim, who was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, had not been
immediately determined by authorities, said Detective William Moreno.
Messages left Monday for a police spokesman were not immediately
returned.
A spokeswoman said Monday that the hospital would not be releasing any information about him.
A surveillance video camera from The Miami Herald building nearby
captured images of the men's naked legs lying side by side after the
shooting.
Vega said the victim appeared gravely injured.
"It was just a blob of blood," Vega said. "You couldn't really see, it was just blood all over the place."
