The officer approached and ordered the naked man to back away. When he continued the assault, the officer shot him, police sources said. The attacker continued to eat the man, despite being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots. The attack occurred around 2:00pm on a pedestrian walkway just south of the Herald's offices.
According to WFOR-TV, With the attacker dead, lying nude on the pavement, officers and paramedics were able to get to his victim and rush him to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Police sources say the man had virtually no face and was unrecognizable. Meanwhile, WPLG-TV reported that a civilian witnessed the attack "I stopped a City of Miami police officer and informed him that a homeless man was killing another person by biting and ripping his face to death. The police officer confronted the aggressor, and he was like a rabid dog and confronted the officer. Then the officer shot the person four times."

According to the Herald, investigators believe the attacker may have been suffering from "cocaine psychosis" - a "drug-induced craze that bakes the body internally and often leads the affected to strip naked and try to cool off." Police believe the victim may have been homeless and laying down when the attacker pounced. "They attempted to separate them, there was some sort of confrontation," Det. Willie Moreno of the Miami Police Department told WPLG. Police have not released the names of the men or the officers involved.
