Las Vegas police have released new drone video showing how officers tracked down a violent suspect following a chaotic incident earlier this month.
The incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. on March 23 in the 4900 block of West Craig Road, when officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to reports of a vehicle crashing into a business, followed by a stabbing and reports of gunfire.
According to the police, the suspect raided a car at a shop before attacking a woman when investigators say a domestic dispute was revealed.
Fox 5 Las Vegas reported that the suspect entered the front door of the Dollar Tree and began attacking the woman with a knife.
