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

Oklahoma City police have arrested a man accused of biting the tip of a person’s finger while naked.

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

Multiple callers reported that a man was running around in the area, biting a customer’s finger and eating it.

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

Officers noticed blood around Lopez’s mouth, according to the police report, and he appeared to be pulling something out of his teeth.

Lopez then 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 is believed to be a piece of skin from the victim’s finger.

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

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

The right side of the victim’s face below the eye was also swollen.

The victim reported seeing Lopez walking toward him while he was empty.

When he told Lopez to leave, Lopez jumped him.

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

While in the patrol car, Lopez said he had used methamphetamine and “water,” which is a commonly used term for PCP, according to police.

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