A man is recovering in a Miami hospital after having parts of his face eaten off by a man on the side of a busy road on Saturday, The Miami Herald reported on Monday.
The attacker was shot dead at the scene of the incident by a policeman who had been alerted by members of the public. Both men were naked at the time.
The report said, citing police sources, in addition to eating the man's flesh, his attacker tried to gouge out his eyes.
The man is fighting for his life in a nearby hospital after suffering critical injuries in the savage attack.
Neither the naked man nor the victim have been identified.
Police said it all began on Saturday when a Road Ranger spotted the men and shouted on his loudspeaker for the attacker to back away. Meanwhile, a woman also saw what was happening and flagged down an officer, the paper said.
The officer fired, hitting the attacker, but the man kept chewing, Vega is quoted as saying. The officer fired again, hitting him several more times, eventually killing him.
