A 2-year-old girl was hospitalized Thursday after city officials found her injured and abandoned on Fremont Street.
City officials received reports at about 3:30 p.m. that a child was abandoned on Fremont Street, near the Las Vegas Club , city communications spokesman Jace Radke said.
A city marshal responded and relayed the information to the Metropolitan Police Department, police said. Around 4 p.m. Metro responded, and the child was taken to University Medical Center.
The child had suffered injuries that Metro spokeswoman Laura Meltzer called “suspicious.”
No other details were immediately available.
