‘Zombie’ drug taker gouged own eyes out

A MEDICAL student was rushed to hospital after gouging his eyes out and trying to chop off his penis.

The 35-year-old is believed to have taken “Zombie” drug Flakka before harming himself in Ciudad del Este, Brazil.

Paramedics sedated him after finding him kneeling on the ground, bleeding and naked on the grass next to one of the eyeballs he had pulled out with his bare hands.

Local reports said the man had gone to Paraguay from his native Sao Paulo a few days earlier and was complaining to friends he had split from his girlfriend.

He is understood to have gone to church to confess shortly before his horrific act of self-mutilation.

Two Brazilian friends told police he had been suffering from depression.
