Naked man accused of biting off a customer’s fingertip at eExpress in Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Oklahoma City police have arrested a man accused of gnawing off a person’s fingertip while he was naked.

Police responded to an eExpress near Reno Avenue and Villa Avenue on Thursday around 5:30 p.m.

Several callers reported that a man ran naked through the neighborhood, bit off a customer’s finger and ate it.

When police arrived, they found Manuel Lopez lying naked on the ground with several people around him.

According to the police report, officers saw blood around Lopez’s mouth, and it appeared he was picking something from his teeth.

Lopez then allegedly wiped his finger on the officer’s sleeve.

Police reported seeing several pools of what appeared to be saliva and blood around the suspect, along with what was believed to be a patch of skin from the victim’s finger.

According to the police report, the victim’s right index finger was bloody and had obvious bite marks.

The tip of the finger was missing from the upper joint.

The right side of his face, below his eye, was also swollen.

The victim reported seeing Lopez walking toward him naked.

When he told Lopez to leave, Lopez jumped on him.

As the victim tried to push Lopez’s face away, he grabbed the victim’s finger in his mouth and gnawed on it, refusing to let go until he chewed the finger off.

While in the patrol car, Lopez stated that he was using methamphetamine and “water,” a term often used for PCP, according to police.

Lopez was arrested on suspicion of mutilation, assault, battery and public intoxication.
