The man, who was decribed to look like a "zombie," was later
identified as 31-year-old Rudy Eugene. Eugene was shot by police a number of
times after he continued to maul Ronal Poppo's face despite being told to
stop.
"The guy - he was like a zombie, blood dripping; it was intense,"
Larry Vega, a biker was riding nearby and witnessed the incident, told
reporters. "I never thought I would see someone eating someone. It was
really, really horrific."
Police suspect that Eugene may have been suffering from "cocaine
psychosis" according to the Huffington Post, which stated that few other
details had been released. The victim, believed to be a homeless man, was in
the hospital recovering on Monday, although witnesses said the man's face was
left barely recognizable.
Eugene was "growling like an animal as he swallowed pieces of flesh"
before officers fired the initial shot, according to The New York Daily News.
Following the initial shot, the suspect continued "chomping on the man's
ears, nose and cheeks -- and even tried to gouge out his eyeballs" before
cops fired several more shots.
