Florida law enforcement officials say they’ve seen at least four other cases involving LSD where the user believes they've acquired super human strength and performs outrageous acts of violence, including, in the most recent case, cannibalism.

Miami police shot and killed a man last weekend who they say was eating the face of another man in an apparent drug-induced psychosis.

Armando Aguilar of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police said when the officer ordered the man to stop, he growled at him, and then returned to chewing the other man’s face.  Police say the man apparently ate nearly 75 percent of his victim’s face, including his nose and eyeballs in a grisly, savage attack on the MacArthur Causeway that connects downtown Miami with Miami Beach.

Witness Larry Vega told television reporters he was riding his bicycle last Saturday afternoon when he saw the savage attack unfold.

"The guy was, like, tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, `Get off!'"  Vega told Miami television station, WSVN.  "The guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin."

Vega flagged down a Miami police officer, who he said repeatedly ordered the attacker to get off the victim. Then he said the attacker just picked his head up and snarled at the officer.

As the heinous attack continued, Vega said the officer shot the attacker, who continued chewing the victim's face. The officer fired again, finally killing the attacker.

Vega said the victim appeared to be gravely injured.

"It was just a blob of blood," Vega said. "You couldn't really see, it was just blood all over the place."

Police say when the officer shot the man once, the bullet appeared to have had little effect. They say the attacker, identified by authorities as 31-year-old Rudy Eugene according to the Associated Press, refused to stop, and continued gnawing despite his gunshot wound.
