Man robbed, stabbed at Las Vegas apartments
A man walking through a central Las Vegas apartment complex was robbed and then stabbed early Monday, police said.
Las Vegas police Lt. David Gordon said the 30-year-old man was walking through the complex at 3896 University Center Drive, near East Twain Avenue, at 12:20 a.m. when he was approached by three men in their mid-20s to early 30s.
“The suspects started rifling through the victim’s pockets and removed his cellphone,” Gordon said. “The suspects then punched and kicked the victim. When the victim attempted to defend himself, one of the suspects stabbed the victim two times.”
The three assailants fled on foot and were not immediately located by police. The victim was rushed to a local hospital where he was expected to survive.
