迈阿密裸体“食脸男”：当街“啃食”他人面部被击毙

　　One man was shot to death by Miami police, and another man is fighting for his life after he was attacked, and his face allegedly half eaten, by a naked man on the MacArthur Causeway off ramp Saturday, police said.

　　The horror began about 2 p.m. when a series of gunshots were heard on the ramp, which is along NE 13th Street, just south of The Miami Herald building.

　　According to police sources, a road ranger saw a naked man chewing on another man’s face and shouted on his loud speaker for him to back away.Meanwhile, a woman also saw the incident and flagged down a police officer who was in the area.

　　The officer, who has not been identified, approached and, seeing what was happening, also ordered the naked man to back away. When he continued the assault, the officer shot him, police sources said. The attacker failed to stop after being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.

　　Miami police were on the scene, which was just south of The Miami Herald building on Biscayne Boulevard. The naked man who was killed lay face down on the pedestrian walkway just below the newspaper’s two-story parking garage. Police have requested The Herald’s video surveillance tapes.

　　The other man was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to police. Their identities were not released.

　　The incident, which came as crowds descended upon South Beach for the annual Urban Beach Week hip-hop festival, snarled traffic on the causeway for several hours.

　　In a text message, Javier Ortiz, spokesman for Miami police’s Fraternal Order of Police, said the officer who fired the fatal shots was “a hero.”

　　“Based on the information provided, our Miami police officer is a hero and saved a life,’’ he said.

　　Sergeant Altarr Williams, supervisor of Miami police’s Homicide Unit, said a man doesn’t have to be armed to be dangerous.

　　“There are other ways to injure people,’’ Williams said. “Some people know martial arts, others are very strong and can kill you with their hands.’’

　　Investigators believe the victim may have been homeless and laying down when the crazed man pounced.

　　Police theorize the attacker might have been suffering from "cocaine psychosis," a drug-induced craze that bakes the body internally and often leads the affected to strip naked to try and cool off.

　　美国迈阿密警方表示，一名裸体男子在麦克阿瑟公路匝道攻击另一男子，啃掉他半张脸，警方赶到后予以吓阻，将“食脸男”击毙，遭啃咬者性命垂危。据迈阿密当地媒体报道，事件发生在26日下午2时左右，地点就位在迈阿密前锋报大楼的南边。目击者表示，一名妇女看到两名男子打斗，拦下附近警车出面处理。

　　目击者表示，这名警察走近，赫然发现裸体男其实正在啃咬另一人的头部。警察喝令裸男后退，但他仍持续狠咬受害者，警察于是开枪射击。尽管遭到射击，“食脸男”仍继续“啃食”另一人，迫使警察持续开枪。目击者表示，他们至少听到6声枪响。“食脸男”最终遭击毙，面部朝下俯卧在迈阿密前锋报停车场前的人行道。警方要求报社提供监视录像带。

　　警方表示，另一名男子被紧急送往医院，情况危急。哥伦比亚广播公司报道称，警方消息人士透露，受害者的脸“几乎被吃个精光”，面目全非。“食脸男”和伤重人士均身份不明。

　　迈阿密警局的美国警察同业会发言人奥蒂兹在简讯中表示，射杀食脸男的警察是“英雄”。他说：“根据情报，这名迈阿密警察是英雄，他救了一条命。” 凶杀组警官威廉斯说，不见得携带武器的人才具有危险性。威廉斯说：“其他方式也可能对人造成伤害。有些人具备武术，有些人则强大到足以徒手杀人。”

　　调查人员称受害者是无家可归的流浪汉。而警方推测“食脸男”是可卡因精神病”患者，这种疾病是由药物引发的，会让患者持续不断地感到燥热，所以会脱光衣服赤身裸体来让自己凉快一些。

　　【沪江科普：可卡因精神病】

　　吸食可卡因会产生很强的心理依赖性，长期吸食可导致精神障碍，也称可卡因精神病。患者易产生触幻觉与嗅幻觉，最典型的是皮下虫行蚁走感，奇痒难忍，造成严重抓伤甚至断肢自残，情绪不稳定，容易引发暴力或攻击行为。长时间大剂量使用可卡因后突然停药，可出现抑郁、焦虑、失望、疲惫、失眠、厌食。长期吸食者多营养不良，体重下降。
