A man in Richmond, California who was arrested on suspicion of murder was found attempting to eat the body of the victim.

Police were called to receive a report around 2:10pm Monday about a woman laying on the ground bleeding and a man standing near her.

Officers arrived and found Dwayne Wallick (37) standing over his grandmother, Ruby, who is 90 years old and digging into her flesh.

The police deployed a Taser to partially subdue Dwayne but then the physical altercation was required to handcuff him.

Dwayne was taken to the hospital and for a physical health evaluation, and will be taken off to jail when he is released from the hospital.
