Miami witness describes horror of cannibalistic attack
MIAMI (Reuters) - A Miami man on Monday described how he watched in horror after spotting a naked man gnawing away at the face and neck of another man in a ghoulish attack on a highway ramp in downtown Miami.
"He was ripping into his face with his teeth," Larry Vega said of the attacker.
"He was ripping his skin, his neck. He had him held down. The guy couldn't move really, and he was just tearing into his flesh," Vega told WSVN TV in Miami about Saturday's attack.
Vega flagged down a police officer, who shot and killed the assailant after he failed to respond to repeated orders to stop and back away.
