Injured: This undated booking mug made available by the Miami-Dade Police Dept. shows Ronald Poppo, the victim in a horrific face-chewing attack in Miami

Shocking new video footage was released today of the Miami cannibal eating the face off a homeless man during the gruesome and brutal 18-minute attack while a number of passers-by did nothing to stop it.

In the harrowing attack which has shocked America, Rudy Eugene, 31, originally from Haiti, chewed lumps of flesh from the face of homeless man Ronald Poppo.

The new footage was released hours after the first picture emerged of the victim – as well as stomach-churning images of his horrific injuries.

Eugene was eventually shot and killed by
a Miami police officer after he refused to stop eating his victim on the MacArthur Causeway on Saturday afternoon.

Former friends of the dead attacker today spoke of their shock at the brutal assault.

A former classmate of Eugene Victoria Forte, who attended North Miami Beach High School, told the Sun Sentinel: ‘Drugs did
this to him. Drugs took over a person we knew as a beautiful person.’

She claimed that he never got into trouble.

In the extended video footage of the attack released today, it was revealed during the almost 20 minutes that Eugene was beating and eating homeless man Ronald Poppo’s face, a number of people cycled and drove past and did nothing to stop it.

The extended video footage shows Eugene walking along the causeway naked before pouncing on the 65-year-old homeless man he found sleeping on the elevated train tracks, according to the Miami Herald.

After he strips and punches his victim, he straddles him before starting to eat his face off. Cars and a number of cyclists passed the two men while the attack took place.

One car appeared to slow down and observe the grisly scene before driving off again.

It was almost 20 minutes until officer Jose Rivera shot Eugene shortly after he arrived. He shouted at the 31-year-old to stop but he simply got up and growled and continued eating at the man’s face.

Mr Poppo – who has been homeless for more than three decades is in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital with his nose, mouth and eyes torn off.

As one witness described it: ‘His face was eaten off all the way down to his beard.’

According to Miami police, the first call of a disturbance came from a passing motorist who reported seeing Eugene stripping off his clothes and acting erratically.

A Road Ranger called to the scene also called 911 and used a loudspeaker to call for the naked attacker to cease.

As the attack dragged on, two other motorists called police, as did another cyclist, Larry Vega, who later told reporters that Eugene ‘just stood, his head up like that, with pieces of flesh in his mouth. And he growled’. He also said it was the most gruesome and traumatic thing he had ever seen’.

According to the Herald, Eugene had been in Miami Beach for the Memorial Day Weekend shortly before the attack.

His car, a purple 1995 Chevrolet Caprice, was towed for being parked illegally at 1100 10th Street, according to police.

The night before, Eugene had been
with his girlfriend in Miami Gardens. She reported that he was acting
strangely before leaving in his car. According to police, Eugene later
called her to say that his car broke down.

It
is believed Eugene was under the influence of a potent form of drug
called ‘bath salts’ at the time but toxicology results will take several
weeks

Emergency room
doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital said they have seen an increase in
incidents related to the drug, which is referred to on the street as
‘the new LSD’.

‘We noticed an increase probably after Ultra Fest,’ said emergency room Dr Paul Adams, at Jackson Memorial Hospital to CBS.

When
people take bath salts, Dr Adams said, their temperature rises to an
extremely high level, causing them to rip off their clothes and become
aggressive in a state of extreme delirium.

Some have been known to use their jaws as a weapon of attack, Dr Adams said, and they become ‘extremely strong’.

‘I took care of a 150 pound individual who you would have thought he was 250 pounds,’ Dr Adams said to CBS.

‘It took six security officers to restrain the individual.’

Dr
Adams said that the new drug is not only a danger to those who take it,
but also emergency responders who must restrain the drug-addled abusers
of it.

‘It’s dangerous for the police,’ Dr Adams said.

‘It’s
dangerous for the fire fighters. It’s dangerous for the hospital
workers taking care of them because they come in, they have to be
restrained both chemically and physically and you’re asking for someone
to get hurt.’

He added
that as the body toll of this new trend of drug rises, the drug dealers
that push it will be held liable for the attacks.

But as more information comes out
regarding what may have caused Eugene to attack Mr Poppo, images of the
victim’s face reveal the extent of the damage.

Images of Mr Poppo – all of which have not been confirmed by police as genuine – have surfaced  online showing most of the victim’s face removed.

‘He
had his face eaten down to his goatee. The forehead was just bone. No
nose, no mouth,’ said Sgt Armando Aguilar, president of the Miami
Fraternal Order of Police.

Sgt
Javier Ortiz, vice president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police,
said it was one of the bloodiest ‘and goriest scenes I’ve ever been to.’

The Miami Herald reports that Mr Poppo has been homeless for some time, at least since 1983, and has a long history of arrests.

He was arrested at least 24 times since 1978, mostly for drinking in public and trespassing, but also a handful of felony arrests for burglary, assault and resisting arrest.

Friends and family of Eugene have come forward claiming that the North Miami Beach High School graduate ‘was not a face-eating zombie monster’.

‘The Rudy we know was a nice gentleman with a warm smile and funny. He’s not like that at all,’ former classmate Victoria Forte told The Miami Herald. ‘We are going to do our part as his friends to not let him go down like this.’

Long-time friend Cassandra Metayer said that Eugene was the son of Haitain immigrants and he grew up in Miami Beach.

He played football and married Ms Metayer’s cousin Jenny Ductant in 2005, but divorced two years later.

However, the couple’s divorce records, obtained by The Miami Herald, show that he had no income.

‘I
wouldn’t say he had mental problems but he always felt like people were
against him … No one was for him, everyone was against him,’ Ms
Ductant said to WPLG-TV.

She said that over the course of their relationship, Eugene became increasingly violent towards her.

‘That’s why I left,’ she said, adding that the two hadn’t spoken in the past three to four years.

Ives Eugene, who identified himself as
Rudy Eugene’s uncle, described his nephew as a ‘nice and hard-working’
man who washed cars at a local dealership.

He said his nephew had asked his girlfriend to borrow her car, but she
said no. ‘So he rode the bicycle, and he never came back home,’ he said.

Florida
Department of Law Enforcement records show Eugene was arrested a number
of times in the past few years, once for battery, trespassing, and four
times for marijuana related charges.

In 2004, he was arrested for threatening to kill his mother.

‘We could hear him yelling and throwing things inside the house,’ said Mike Pons to WPLG-TV, one of the North Miami police detectives who arrested Eugene.

‘He wasn’t cooperative, wouldn’t follow orders, very belligerent,’ Detective Pons said. ‘He had that thousand-yard stare, staring right into you, not assessing or understanding what the commands were.’

Eugene was one of the first people ever to be tasered by North Miami Beach police, needing to be shocked with a stun gun three times to be subdued.

Witness: Larry Vega was cycling off the MacArthur Causeway on Saturday afternoon when he saw the savage attack, which he described as ‘the most gruesome, traumatic thing I have ever seen in my life’

A cyclist described the
terrifying moment he witnessed Eugene tear pieces of flesh from Mr Poppo’s face at the side of the freeway.

Larry
Vega, from Miami, was cycling off the MacArthur Causeway on Saturday
afternoon when he saw the savage attack, which he described as ‘the most
gruesome, traumatic thing I have ever seen in my life’.

He
told WSVN: ‘The guy was like tearing him to pieces with his mouth and I
told him to get off. But the guy just kept eating the other guy away,
like ripping his skin.

‘A
police officer came over, told him several times to get off then climbed
over the divider and got in front of him and said, “Get off!” But the
guy just stood his head up like that with a piece of flesh in his mouth
and growled.’

Still alive: The attacker moves and sits up even though he had already been shot, and police continue to shoot him until he finally dies on the scene

Mr Vega said Eugene continued to eat his victim’s face so he was shot repeatedly.

Images taken from a Miami Herald surveillance camera show the legs of the two men lying beneath a freeway underpass.

Mr Vega described the crime scene – which he compared to a horror movie: ‘It was just a blob of blood. You couldn’t really see, it was just blood all over the place.

‘It was one of the most gruesome things I have ever seen in my life in person. You know, you see these things in the movies but when you see it in person, it’s pretty traumatic.’

Hero: A police spokesman called the officer who repeatedly shot the attacker ‘a hero’

Growing concern: Police cars gather as the situation progresses

MacArthur Causeway is a major route that connects downtown Miami to popular South Beach.

Traffic clogged the area for hours as people used the route to descend into South Beach for Urban Beach Week, an annual festival dedicated to hip-hop music.
