The summer’s “cannibal craze” has reportedly spread to China.
A drunken bus driver in eastern China tried to chew off a woman’s face during an attack on Tuesday afternoon, according to Chinese media.
A man identified as “Dong” ran into a road near a bus station at around 2 p.m. and jumped in front of a woman’s car, the Shanghai Daily’s website reported police saying.
The man then hopped on the hood and starting pounding on the woman’s windshield, the report said.
When the woman, identified as “Du,” got out of the car, the man tackled her and began chewing on her face.
Photos posted on Malaysia-Chronicle.com and other websites appeared to show the deranged bus driver straddling the helpless woman on the ground.
Witnesses said they tried to stop the attack, but Dong was going “crazy” and overpowered them.
Police eventually pulled the maniac off Du and cuffed him, the report said.
The woman was taken to a local hospital with tears to her lips and nose and would need plastic surgery to repair her face, according to the report.
Cops said the man drank heavily during lunch with pals before the attack.
