The Zombie Apocalypse is upon us! Naked Man Allegedly Eating Victim's Face Shot/Killed By Miami cops

Naked Man Allegedly Eating Victim's Face Shot And Killed By Miami Police

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.

Of course, they are usually wearing raggedy clothes. This naked thing is a whole new twist.

which is a sure sign of zombism attack cant shoot em down easily since they are 1/2 dead already......seriously the article sez "cocaine psychosis, maybe I thought it was meth or what are they snorting sniffing in Florida these days for a cheap high - cuz that is the only other thing I can think of besides Zombie attack of course

the officer saw what the man was doing, and ordered him to stop. He said the man growled at the officer, and then returned to his meal.

They said the man ate his victim’s nose and eyeballs.

The officer then used his service weapon and shot the man, Aguilar said, but the gunshot had no effect.

Other sources confirmed that the man refused to obey, and continued his attack
the officer had no choice but to keep shooting until the attacker was dead.

Investigators sharing limited details about the confrontation, saying only that the two men were fighting and the officers felt they had no choice but to take deadly force.

would possess someone to chew that much of another person's face off like that? Or any of another person's face, really. And if you are squeamish, you probably do not want to see the pictures. It's awful. I've seen real zombie movies where the zombies were much easier to stop than this guy was.
