Two Chimps Tear Off Man's Eye, Nose, Foot
United Press International
Two male chimpanzees escaped their California cage and attacked a man's eyes, limbs and private parts, officials said Friday.
Medics bagged a severed nose, foot and an eye of the victim, St. James Davis, who was listed in critical condition at Loma Linda University Medical Center, the Bakersfield, Californian reported Friday.
It was not immediately known if any of the severed parts could be reattached.
"Everybody was trying to get the chimp(s) off," said Kern County sheriff's Cmdr. Hal Chealander. "(Davis') face was literally ripped off."
A family member of the chimps' owners shot the two chimps to death. Two female chimpanzees also escaped but did not participate in the attack and were put back into their cages.
Davis' wife suffered less severe injuries to her arm as she tried to help him and was taken to a local hospital, officials said.
