Man, 31, accused of murder on Las Vegas strip and then EATING THE VICTIM'S FACE at a bus stop when police arrived

A man has been accused of murder after getting into a fight and then chewing off portions of the victim's face at a bus stop as police arrived on the scene.

At around 4.45am on Sunday, Colin Czech, 31, was arrested on Las Vegas Boulevard after cops received a report of two men fighting in front of a business in the 1100 block.

When officers found the two men, near the 300 block of Charleston Boulevard, one of them was found unresponsive and bleeding from his head.

Officers also found Czech kneeling on the ground next to the victim with 'biological matter in his hair, mouth, and on his clothing,' KLAS reported, citing documents.

He reportedly told officers that the victim had attacked him, and that he was homeless, after cops had spotted him eating the ear and an eyeball of the other man.

Paramedics dashed the severely injured victim, reportedly identified as Kenneth Brown, to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Brown had a large cut to part of his head and he was missing an eye and ear, according to documents 8 News Now Investigators obtained. 

Czech had reportedly been falling 'in and out of consciousness' while he was in police custody, as he told officers he had been awake for 'five days straight' because 'something was possessing him'.

The killer also told detectives he used his teeth to hurt the victim, adding 'he used his teeth to eat [the man's] eyeballs and ears,' documents revealed. 

Czech was arrested on a charge of open murder and was booked into the Clark County Detention Center in absentia, they added.

He was set to make an appearance in court on Monday afternoon, but Justice of the Peace Rebecca Saxe said Czech was not transported to the hearing because he had been admitted into hospital.

Despite his absence, Saxe said she found probable cause for Czech's arrest and ordered him to be detained in custody without bail following the gruesome crime.

Neither a prosecutor nor a defense attorney spoke during the brief hearing, the journal reported.

Czech has now been ordered by the judge to show his face in court on Wednesday.

The Clark County coroner's office has not yet released the identity of the man who died before having his body mutilated.

An autopsy is likely to be performed by the Clark County coroner's office to confirm the victim's ID, as well as identify the cause and manner of death.
