A California man is accused of possibly blinding his four year old son in gruesome fashion.
Police say 34 year old Angelo Mendoza bit an eyeball out of his four year old son's face and ate it.
The boy had numerous bites to his hands and his eyes were swollen shut. Doctors said the boy's left eye and muscle were missing; his other eye is mutilated beyond repair.
The police report said Mendoza appeared to be on PCP.
Mendoza was arrested on charges of aggravated mayhem, torture, and cruelty to a child. Police say the toddler is now in the custody of child protective services. Mendoza is due in court Wednesday.
His bail is set at one million dollars.
