Synthetic Drug Zombie Attack - Man Eats Dog - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.

There have been multiple media reports of cannibalism lately. Now comes another bizarre story.

A 22 year old man in Waco, Texas has been arrested after police say he assaulted family members living in his house and chased after his neighbor on his hands and knees while barking and growling at them. He then violently assaulted the family dog before strangling and eating it according to witnesses. Police found the man sitting on his porch covered with blood and “incoherent and unresponsive.” The dog died shortly after. The man is reported to have been under the influence of a synthetic drug known as K2.

Sold under several different names as incense or potpourri in packages labeled as not for human consumption, K2 reportedly has marijuana like effects when smoked or ingested. “K2 may be a mixture of herbal and spice plant products, but it is sprayed with a potent psychotropic drug and likely contaminated with an unknown toxic substance that is causing many adverse effects,” said Dr. Anthony Scalzo, a professor of toxicology at Saint Louis University.
