By Norman Miller/Daily News staff

A Milford man lapped gasoline off the ground Wednesday and screamed at several passing cars, eluding arrest for more than a half hour, police said.

Jose Dias Ferreira, 35, was arrested at 10:32 p.m. after he ran into the middle of Waverley Street, stopping traffic and screaming at cars, police spokesman Lt. Paul Shastany said.

Officer William Fuer was on patrol on Hollis Street when he saw a man, later identified as Ferreira, running around the AutoBrite parking lot, which is next to a Sunoco station.

"The (gas station) attendant said a nozzle fell on the ground and gas leaked out," Shastany said. "This man got on the ground and started lapping it up."
