A California man has been jailed on torture and cruelty charges after he allegedly bit his 4-year-old son's eye, blinding the child.
Angelo Mendoza, 34, is accused of biting the boy's eyeball out of his face and eating it, according to WCTV.
The child's eyes were swollen shut — one of them mutilated beyond repair, police said — and he had several bite wounds on his hands, the station reported.
Mendoza appeared to be on PCP at the time of the attack, according to the police report.
He's been charged with aggravated mayhem, torture and cruelty to a child and is being held on $1 million bail. The boy has been placed with child protective services.
