Not Patient Zero

I had posted the other day about a guy in Miami shot dead by police when he was caught eating the face off of a homeless man (the homeless man survived the attack, but it doesn't sound hopeful). Although he certainly acted like a zombie (even growling at the police officer), he apparently was not a zombie, but was high on LSD. Anyway, here are some more of the gruesome details:
A cyclist described the terrifying moment he witnessed a naked man tear pieces of flesh from another man's face at the side of a freeway before being shot dead by police when he refused to stop.

Police also revealed today that the attacker had been taking a new potent form of LSD during the attack.

Larry Vega, from Miami, was cycling off the MacArthur Causeway on Saturday afternoon when he saw the savage attack, which he described as 'the most gruesome, traumatic thing I have ever seen in my life'.

He told WSVN: 'The guy was like tearing him to pieces with his mouth and I told him to get off. But the guy just kept eating the other guy away, like ripping his skin.

'A police officer came over, told him several times to get off then climbed over the divider and got in front of him and said, "Get off!" But the guy just stood his head up like that with a piece of flesh in his mouth and growled.'

Mr Vega said the man continued to eat his victim's face so he was shot several times.

Police have said they believe the man - who has not been identified - was high on a potent form of LSD at the time.

His victim, who is believed to be a homeless man, is in hospital recovering from his injuries which are said to be some of the most horrific staff have ever encountered.

It is not clear if he will survive.
There are surveillance camera images at the link.
