Three juveniles hospitalized after stabbing
Three juveniles were stabbed and another was beaten in a Sunday night incident that Las Vegas police say is gang related.
Lt. Hans Walters said the stabbings took place just before midnight at 1321 Rexford Place, near Las Vegas Boulevard South and East Charleston Boulevard.
All three victims were transported to University Medical Center and are expected to survive their injuries, Walters said.
The stabbings were immediately preceded by a beating that took place two blocks west at 1721 Santa Paula Drive. It's not clear if the stabbings were in retaliation to the beating, but the incidents are related, Walters said.
Las Vegas police arrested two suspects upon arrival, and another remains at large. All suspects and victims in the incident appear to be juveniles involved in gang activity, Walters said.
