The man who had his face chewed off by the Miami cannibal has spoken for the first time about the attack saying: "He just ripped me to ribbons".
Ronald Poppo, 65, was left blind after suffering devastating injuries to nearly half of his face.
He only survived the horrific Memorial Day attack after police shot dead crazed Rudy Eugene after he would not stop savaging him.
In a tape obtained by CBS, Poppo told police: "He just ripped me to ribbons. He chewed up my face. He plucked out my eyes. Basically that’s all there is to say about it."
He later added: "He mashed my face into the sidewalk. My face is all bent and mashed up... He was strangling me in wrestling holds at the same time he was plucking my eyes out."
Mr Poppo, who has undergone several operations at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Florida, also praised cops who saved his life saying he would have been in "worse shape" had they not acted so quickly.
He told Miami police that 31-year-old Eugene, who he had never met before, was screaming at him that he was going to die, moments before the gruesome attack.
