The parents of a St. Petersburg, Fla., teen accused in a brutal attack on his neighbor say their son may have been under the influence of synthetic drugs.

Brandon Davis, 18, faces second-degree attempted murder and other charges after police said he savagely beat his neighbor, 54-year-old Nicholas Sorace, early Sunday.

The teen also allegedly attacked officers when they tried to subdue him.

Sorace, whose injuries are still clearly visible, said that he heard a commotion outside and came to the window on Sunday around 2 a.m. He allegedly saw Davis beating a dog and "yelling about Jesus Christ and the devil," Sorace told Fox Tampa Bay.

When Davis saw Sorace at the window, the teen turned on him, breaking down his neighbor's door.

"He thought the dog was the devil, and then the next thing he sees is me, illuminated. And all of a sudden, I'm the devil," Sorace told the station.

"He broke a flower pot over my head, he was sticking me in the neck with pieces... he stuck his thumb all the way in my eye socket and he just ripped my mouth and he bit my face. He was chewing, he chewed my hands."

By the time police responded, Sorace was motionless on the floor and barely conscious, yet the teen continued to beat him.

"The suspect told him he was going to eat his eyes," police spokesman Mike Puetz said, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

It took four officers to restrain the teen, according to the paper.

"Even after being tased twice, he was still fighting," Puetz said. "He bit one officer in the hand, and attempted to kick and strike others... The scene was rather bloody."

Police and neighbors are still trying to make sense of the gruesome attack. Davis' parents told police that he may have been under the influence of synthetic drugs or hallucinogens at the time of the attack.

Fox Tampa Bay reports that the teen, who remained under sedation at a local hospital as of Tuesday afternoon, had no prior issues with the law.

Neighbors described him to the station as a "polite, sweet, loving, well-accomplished" boy.

I am calling it now: bath salts

It seems this Davis fellow bit off more than he could chew.

This just proves you can't take everything at face value.

 

[jonathancrane]

Seriously, why the long face?

 

[Ant-manic]

where is the war on drugs when you need it?

 

[charl_huntress]

WTF! *shakes head* What the hell are the putting in drugs now and days?

 

[KevanG]

They must be salting the water with drugs too.

If your teenage son tried to eat his neighbor's face off... you might be a wolf.

"BUT, FACES ARE DELICIOUS!!!" the confused cosplaying zombie teen was quoted as saying.

And this gives Florida a good reputation how?

 

[KevanG]

For the tourist trade obviously.

 

[Godzilla2000]

Yep, I'm sure many sane, rational people are just itching to witness the insanity first hand too! I can see it now...

Dad: Hey, Susan, just stand right there on the left next to the bath salt overdosing guy. Your mother can pose next to him on the opposite side. Oh and make sure he tries to bite one of your faces off for dramatic effect. The family back in New York will love it when I post it on Facebook.

'COME WATCH THESE TWO PSYCHOS EAT EACH OTHERS FACE OFF! $10 A TICKET!'

Who wouldn't pay to see that? It's like the carnival when you were a kid.

 

[SuperFerret]

Again? Florida, you're getting stale.

I bet Florida would rake in the cash if they just rounded up these drug polluted hopeless cases and put them in a Thunderdome like fighting arena.

For those who dont know, Molly is a drug thats popular and makes the user feel like they are on cloud 9. It is usually cut with other drugs depending on the type of area you live in. It can be cut with anything from coke to bath salts. Teens dont know what they are actually getting when they get molly. Ive heard of people getting bath salts thinking it was molly and you can imagine how that went. So while the kid should not have been doing the drug it may not be entirely his fault. Whoever supplied him probably gave him salts. This is why you educate yourself and your kids about the different types of drugs on the streets and the tactics and methods of the suppliers. Cause I guarantee it no teen wants to chew a guys face off and go to jail. They just want to feel good.

I could be entirely off about this kid and maybe he wanted to experience salts, but ive never met a kid who did and ive met some true dumbasses and even they wouldnt go near the ****.

I know man. I mean, I was into eating faces before it got all corporate and mainstream.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Oh God it's happening again!

Isn't this like, the third person in Florida trying eat someone's face? This story would have been a lot better if it'd been Bieber.

 

[KevanG]

The only way it could be better if Beebs was involved would be if he was doing the eating just to see how his fans would defend him.

I am curious as to you how think a normal person would be able to properly educate themselves on this subject.

Google for one. Check news reports or just general info from the local/state area on what types tend to end messily, ie - this one.

Asking people you know who do them another. Just ask them what ones end badly most times and stay away from them.
