Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (Las Vegas Review-Journal/File)
A report of a downed motorcyclist in the northwest Las Vegas Valley turned into a foot pursuit Tuesday after the victim took off.
The crash occurred at 3 p.m. near North Durango Drive and Racel Street, north of West Grand Teton Drive, Las Vegas Police spokesman Aden Ocampo-Gomez said.
Police arrived about 5 minutes after the crash when the victim, a while male adult between 35 and 45 years old, tried to leave the scene. He was detained a short time later.
The victim was taken to University Medical Center. The motorcycle might be connected to a stolen motor vehicle report Oct. 23 near West Charleston and South Jones boulevards, Ocampo-Gomez said.
