Last Sunday in Miami Florida an extremely heinous crime had some people murmuring about the zombie apocalypse.

On Sunday May 26 at around 2 p.m., a Miami police officer responded to a report that two men were fighting. Upon arriving on the scene the officer reports that instead of finding two men fighting, he found 31-year-old Rudy Eugene naked and apparently eating the face of a homeless man. According to witness testimony the officer told the assailant to back down and instead Eugene growled at him and continued eating away at the face of the now unidentifiable man. “He wasn’t just tearing off flesh” one witness said “he was actually eating it.”

When Eugene showed no intent to discontinue his attack on the man the officer shot him, and it took him four shots to bring the man down. Despite some jokes referring to the zombie apocalypse, police now believe that Eugene was under the influence of ‘bath salts’ a increasingly popular street drug that causes the user to overheat to the point where their brain will essentially fry (which could also be the reason Eugene was found naked).

The man Eugene attacked is expected to survive although he is now completely blind and has virtually no flesh left on his face. Also all hospital staff has assured the public he is showing no signs of turning into a zombie.
