Man Charged in Zombie-Like Attack on Woman

A 20-year-old man from Doylestown, Pennsylvania found naked and bleeding in the Poconos last week, is facing assault charges after allegedly gnawing on the head of a woman during a zombie-like attack akin to the "Causeway Cannibal" Miami police shot and killed in May.

State police in Honesdale said they used a stun gun on Richard Cimino Jr. early Friday after two women reported he was "screaming like an animal" and "began to gnaw" on one of their heads.

The women managed to escape without serious injuries and call police.

State police found Cimino lying on a street in Hawley, a borough about 60 miles north of Allentown. Police said he was covered in blood from injuries he received after breaking into a vacant house and jumping out a second-floor window.

According to state police, Cimino acted delusional and confrontational and lunged at one of the troopers before another shot him with a stun gun.
