A man who police said beat a woman with a baseball bat at a northwest Las Vegas Valley residence remains at large.

Police were called just after 11:50 a.m. to the 6800 block of West Sheffield Avenue, near West Craig Road and North Rainbow Boulevard, according to Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson Misael Parra.

The woman was taken to MountainView Hospital, where she was treated for her injuries and released.

Police had set up a containment area for about four hours before determining that the subject was not present, Parra said. The suspect still had not been found as of 5 p.m.
