US man accused of biting out son's eyeA four-year-old California boy may be permanently blinded after police say his father bit out one of his eyes and mutilated the other.
Bakersfield police say 34-year-old Angel Vidal Mendoza appeared to be under the influence of the drug PCP when he attacked the boy on April 28, The Bakersfield Californian newspaper reported.
Afterwards, police said Mendoza rolled his wheelchair outside and began hacking at his own legs with an axe.
Four-year-old Angelo Mendoza Jr told police, "my daddy ate my eyes."
Doctors at Mercy Hospital say it's unclear whether Angelo will regain vision in his right eye.
The boy's mother wasn't home at the time.
Mendoza is due in court tonight.
Charges include mayhem, torture and child cruelty. Jail officials say they don't know whether he has a lawyer.
