A man in Palmetto, Florida ate a chunk of human flesh Wednesday night after becoming intoxicated on an unknown substance, stripping off his clothing and going on a rampage through his girlfriend’s home while visiting his children.
26-year-old Charles Baker reportedly had to be Tasered multiple times before police were able to subdue him, according to ABC affiliate News Net 5. (http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/national/Latest-zombie-eating-attack-man-under-the-influence-gets-naked-bites-off-chunk-of-mans-arm) Officers were called after he burst through the home’s front door shouting and removing his clothes.
Officials said in a media advisory (http://manateesheriff.com/wps/portal/%21ut/p/c1/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os3hDDy_vUCM_IwMLA0c3Ay MfywBLN1M3QyAXKB9pFh8GA25-Po4GRob-Ji4uHr6GBoZmxOjGJW9gSEB3OMi1uFWYmEHk8bkOJG-AAzga4Dcf6D4_j_zcVP2C3NAIg0xPXQD0WwAF/dl2/d1/L0lDU0lKSWdrbUEhIS9JRFJBQUlpQ2dBek15cXchL1lCSkoxTk ExTkk1MC01RncvN18xSEpLVTJOMjAwQzQyMDJEODROMTdJMEdH My80ZTVkTzE4MjYwMDUw/?PC_7_1HJKU2N200C4202D84N17I0GG3_WCM_CONTEXT=/wps/wcm/connect/MSO%20Press%20Releases%20Content/mso+press+release+site/news+releases/bite062112) that Baker began throwing furniture around the house after entering, and resisted when one of the residents, 48-year-old Jeffery Blake, tried to wrestle him to the ground. That’s when Baker reportedly bit Blake, ripping a mouthful of flesh from one of his biceps.
The case is another in a string of bizarre, flesh-eating assaults (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/06/01/cdc-denies-rumors-of-zombie-apocalypse/) that have occurred all over the nation in recent months, the first of which happened in Miami, Florida. In that assault, 31-year-old Rudy Eugene was shot to death after he tore off most of a homeless man’s face with his teeth (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/05/29/miami-cannibal-identified-by-police-bath-salts-blamed-for-rampage/).
Police later blamed Eugene’s gruesome attack on a synthetic drug called mephedrone, found in so-called “bath salts” products commonly available in stores across the U.S. No connection between the drug and Baker’s rampage has been established.
