0Zombie Attack 911 Tapes Released
The unusual cannibal attack in Miami in which the assailant was shot dead and his victim was left with 70% of his face chewed away has been a bit of a train wreck people have been unable to look away from this week, and now authorities have released the 911 tapes from just before police were forced to shoot attacker Rudy Eugene dead.
Eugene had disregarded several orders to stop attacking victim Ronald Poppo, and even withstood a gunshot wound, continuing the assault. Witnesses who called 911 to report the attack sounded alarmed by it’s nature, and one unidentified female caller said:
“It’s a naked man beating another man, beating him, on the MacArthur Causeway, like toward the Miami Herald…. He’s gonna kill that man, I promise you, okay?’’
Another called, a male who had perhaps not witnessed any violence, reported:
“Hi, how ya doing? I’m just reporting a naked man in front of the Miami Herald building on the highway… He’s next to a pole, actually. He was taking off his clothes and throwing them into traffic. He’s a black male, curly hair, Rastafarian hair, goatee. You can’t miss him. He’s naked.”
Other callers reported a fight, and one witness even said they did not lodge a report due to the fact it appeared the men were “having sex.” Poppo remains in critical condition at a Miami area hospital.
