Stabbing in Palazzo casino on Las Vegas Strip

A transient man stabbed a resort security guard in the chest on the casino floor of a Strip hotel Wednesday morning, Las Vegas police said.
The Metropolitan Police Department responded to reports of a stabbing inside the Palazzo, 3325 Las Vegas Blvd. South, just before 7 a.m.
Las Vegas police spokeswoman Laura Meltzer said the security guard approached a man with a knife who had been behaving erratically and was stabbed in the chest.
The assailant, described only as a homeless man who frequented the area, then fled the hotel and ran across the boulevard. Police arrested a suspect shortly afterward near The Mirage, Meltzer said.
