Homeless men brawl with knife, wrench in central Las Vegas

Updated July 9, 2020 - 9:14 am

Two homeless men landed in a Las Vegas hospital late Wednesday after brawl in the central valley.

Police responded to a call of two men fighting about 10:45 p.m. at 5150 Spring Mountain Road, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Lt. David Gordon.

One man had a kitchen knife, while the other had a wrench.

Gordon said the man with the knife stabbed the other man on the left side of his torso. The man with a wrench retaliated and hit the other man in the face.

Both men fled, Gordon said, but were captured a short time later and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
