Naked man with "superhuman strength" shot to death after assaulting cop, biting teenager's face off

Yes...it's Florida:


Naked Man Shot to Death After Eating Teen's Face, Assaulting Cop
Taylor Berman

A naked man with "superhuman strength" was shot to death Tuesday night after assaulting a former police officer and biting part of a teenager's face off.

According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, the naked man was walking down a road near Delray Beach, Florida when, for reasons that remain unclear, he attacked a 66-year-old former NYPD officer. The retired cop was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries.

Meanwhile, the naked man continued up the road, where he encountered and chased a man walking with his 10-year-old son. Later, the naked man attacked an 18-year-old man, biting his face until the teen stabbed the man with a box cutter or knife. By that time, police officers had arrived on the scene and attempted to Taser the nude man.

"He's obviously delirious on something," Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw told the Palm Beach Post. "He is a huge guy. He takes a fighting stance. They're trying to get him on the ground. He starts charging them. The Taser did not affect him."

Always unfortunate when police shoot and kill someone, but it sounds like this guy was clearly out of control and a danger.

Seriously, cases like this are very tragic. If the reporting is accurate, it appears the cops had no option left but deadly force. All over getting a high...
