An unidentified man savagely attacked by another on the pedestrian walkway of the MacArthur Causeway remained in intensive care on Sunday at Ryder Trauma Center in Miami.

The man, whose name has not been released, was said to have suffered severe facial injuries from an attacker who witnesses said chewed at the victim’s face and eyes in the walkway on the west end of the causeway. Both men were naked.

When police arrived, the attacker refused to stop biting the other man and was shot dead by a Miami police officer…

According to police sources, a road ranger had seen a naked man chewing on another man’s face and shouted on his loud speaker for him to back away. Meanwhile, a woman also saw the incident and flagged down a police officer who was in the area.

Video captured by the Herald security cameras show snippets of the man on the ground, then an officer arriving on the scene and the aftermath of the attack. The video does not show any of the violence…

The attacker failed to stop after being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots…

Police theorize the attacker might have been suffering from “cocaine psychosis,” a drug-induced craze that bakes the body internally and often leads the affected to strip naked to try and cool off.

“Cool off” hardly seems adequate.

    With zombies always go for the head, body and extremity shots won’t work. Remember one in the head and they’re dead.

    Florida cops keep a chainsaw in the trunk in case there are more than a few to deal with.

  3. kerpow says:

    No surprise that the zombie apocalypse would begin in Florida.

      With all the old retirees, how could you notice before its too late?

  4. MarcoB says:

    It seams Florida is under attack from the Media. Lately, a lot of bad news are popping on the Media to take away Florida’s mojo.
    Discovery Channel and National Geographic have many shows about gators and pythons running free in Florida. Disney just announced a price increase on all of their admission tickets to all of their Disney parks in Orlando. Now we have this zombie attack. I think things will get real ugly when tourists start to change their vacation destination.

        I guess you haven’t heard about:

        Tomohiro Kato (Akiharaba Massacre)
        Seito Sakakibara (Kobe Beheading by a 11 years old)
        Yukio Yamaji (Killed his mother with a baseball bat)
        Tatsuya Ichihashi (Murder of Lindsay Hawker)
        Joji Obara (Murder and dismemberment of Lucie Blackman)

        Should I continue?

      Florida survived the rest area robberies/murders, the “trail the tourist in the airport rental car”, and the 2000 vote tally, they should survive this.

    “Saturday, police theorized that the attacker might have suffered from “cocaine psychosis,” a drug-induced craze that bakes the body internally and often leads those it affects to strip naked to try to cool off.” //// Link is worth reading. The perp took several bullets and would not stop. Bit hazy there. but I agree: why try to save the maggot?

    Pure speculation about the cocaine use though. More evidence for religious based psychosis what with the local church giving away free showers.

    I’m sure if the homeless and drug addicted in the area were required to pay income tax they would then go out and get 2 or 3 good paying jobs….. because, you know, “get a job or borrow some money from your parents” is the new unthinking dogma for social success.

    Yea, verily.

  6. msbpodcast says:

    But the news did come from Florida, our most fucked up state; where crazes just drip off of the end of America’s penis…

    What can you expect?

  7. shaunvis says:

    That’s always how it starts with zombies. You hear a report “A crazed individually was attacking and biting another”

  8. This happened near our convent. It was probably one of our parishioners. This fucking place will do it to you. All he did was eat the nose and the eyeballs. That should make you think twice about visiting Florida.

    Guess the artificial heart didn’t cure zombie’izm…..

    The guy *must* have been on drugs — why else would he go for the face on a guy with drumsticks like that?

    I just don’t get it.

    We never had zombie attacks under the Bush administration.

    In similar news, we have a guy throwing his own intestines at the cops. I’m no doctor, but I don’t think you can do that and live.

        Ha, ha. We had a pysch patient jump out of the third or fourth floor lockup. His case social worker says the guy was actually lucid for a few days afterwards. Gravity: not just a good idea, its the law.

  17. NewformatSux says:

    Of course the drug involved should be legalized.

  18. NewformatSux says:

    A judge just blocked Aaron Worthing from blogging about a guy who filed a lawsuit against him, upset that Mr Worthing was revealing plaintiff’s criminal past.

    Watch out or the cannibal might shut down your website.

    He’s dead, so that may prove a rather daunting task for him.

  20. hmeyers says:

    I’ve seen maybe 6 different “cannibal” stories in the last 24 hours. A Montreal dude, some guy in Maryland, some lady who ate part of her infant, etc.

    I really wish this high profile event hadn’t occurred.

    I don’t like reading about deranged behavior in the news, and the next few weeks we will be seeing more cannibal stories because it is a “hot news item”.

    At times, I hate the news because they like to put the worst human behavior in our faces (then again, average joe shmucks like reading that crapola I guess and they do have to get eyeballs).
