Detective Willie Moreno, spokesperson for Miami Police said the officer had no other choice but to save the life of the faceless victim. Witnesses at the scene say the man had virtually no face and was unrecognizable.

Surveillance video taken from security cameras at the nearby Miami Herald building show cameras zooming into the two men lying nude and partially obscured by the Metro Mover track.

As one man is seen lying motionless on the 8 minute video, the other can be seen flailing his legs.

Police say a new form of LSD, commonly referred to as “bath salts”, has emerged on the streets of Miami in recent months.

Emergency room Doctor Paul Adams says similar cases have showed up in the ER after the popular music festival, Ultra Fest, according to a CBS local Miami television news affiliate.

Doctors say the drug can elevate a person’s body temperature to such a high degree that logic and the ability to feel pain are lost; then delirium sets in which can often lead to monstrous acts of violence.

“We’ve had several deaths,” Dr. Adams said according to Miami television reports. “Earlier last year, we probably saw our first death from bath salts where people were running on the MacArthur Causeway, under the MacArthur Causeway being chased by the police and then all of the sudden just collapsing.”

Police have vowed to beef-up their efforts in tracking down drug dealers who sell to unsuspecting buyers and say they will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

Meantime, the victim, who has not been identified, remains in critical condition at a Miami hospital.
