MIAMI — Emergency callers reported seeing a naked man swinging from a light pole along a Miami causeway minutes before a face-eating attack on a homeless man.
According to recordings made public Tuesday, the first call came May 26 from a motorist who said a naked man was “acting like Tarzan” on the causeway. A second motorist called a minute later, saying a naked man was on the road.
Police say 31-year-old Rudy Eugene attacked 65-year-old Ronald Poppo minutes later, stripping off Poppo’s clothes and chewing off most of his face before he was shot and killed by a police officer.
Police have not released a motive for the attack.
Poppo remains hospitalized.
