Police look for man allegedly stabbed on Las Vegas bus

The Metropolitan Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who police believe was stabbed on a bus in the northeast Las Vegas Valley.

Police said officers responded to East Lake Mead Boulevard and North Lamb Boulevard at about 8 p.m. Monday after a stabbing was reported on a bus.

Officers found evidence that an incident occurred but were unable to locate the victim, police said in a news release.

“We believe the victim may have been injured in the incident and in need of medical assistance,” the department said in the news release.

The victim is described as a Hispanic man in his 60’s with gray hair and a mustache, wearing a blue shirt with a stripe and gray pants.
