Zombie attack in Miami

May 29, 2012

On Saturday a horrendous zombie like attack occurred and was stopped after a police officer shot the attacker several times. Witness Larry Vega noticed the attack and flagged down a passing police officer. A naked man eating another naked mans face. When the police officer told the attacker to stop, the attacker acknowledged him and just continued. The attacker was identified as Rudy Eugene.

Fraternal Order of Police President Armando Aguilar said he suspects Eugene was under the influence of “bath salts.” Four other drug use instances in Miami-Dade bear resemblances to Saturday’s attack. “It causes them to go completely insane and become very violent,” said Augilar. Emergency room physician at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Dr. Paul Adams, said the drug makes users delirious. They exhibit elevated temperatures and extreme physical strength. Also, users have been known to use their jaws as weapons.

“Doctors and clinicians at U.S. poison centers have indicated that ingesting or snorting ‘bath salts’ containing synthetic stimulants can cause chest pains, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, agitation, hallucinations, extreme paranoia, and delusions,” according to the NIDA report.

Drug Enforcement Administration in October made possession of the stimulants in bath salts, Mephedrone, 3, 4 methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) and Methylone, illegal under an emergency order. The order lasts for a year.
The victim from the Saturday’s attack, whom police have not identified yet, was in critical condition at Jackson Memorial on Monday. Augilar said that 75% to 80% of his face was missing.
