Steven Revell was booked into the Clark County Detention Center, accused of stabbing a Nebraska man three times in an unprovoked attack Saturday night, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stabbed him as much as I could,\u201d the suspect said in a statement to police. \u201cI tried to get him good, near the spine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incident occurred about 11 pm at the Fremont Street Experience, a pedestrian mall covered by an electronic canopy that displays colorful light shows. Fremont Street, known as Glitter Gulch, is lined on both sides with casinos.<\/p>\n

Police said the homeless man was arrested less than an hour after the incident. He confessed to the attack, according to the newspaper. Revell said he knew the victim, who was in Las Vegas on a job and had gone downtown for drinks with coworkers.<\/p>\n

\n

Police said there was no evidence Revell knew the Nebraskan. \u201cThis stabbing was completely unprovoked,\u201d according to an arrest report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Revell is due in Las Vegas Justice Court on Wednesday on suspicion of attempted murder, battery with use of a deadly weapon, and possession of heroin. He also was being held on an out-of-state fugitive warrant, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

Police said surveillance video helped in identifying the suspect. A knife was recovered at the scene.<\/p>\n

Deep Knife Wounds<\/h2>\n

The unidentified Nebraska man said he and his friends had become separated just before the attack. The man said he stopped in the 400 block of Fremont Street to call his friends, according to the newspaper.<\/p>\n

\n

While stopped he heard some pounding (like running) behind him, and then he felt pain in his back,\u201d according to the arrest report.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The suspect stabbed the man with a knife, penetrating his back with stab wounds up to 1-inch deep, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

The Nebraska man survived the stabbing, according to the Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Violence in Tourist Areas<\/h2>\n

Since this summer, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has stepped up its patrols in the tourist areas to quell an increase in violent crimes.<\/p>\n

Shootings and fights on the Las Vegas Strip led to several people being hospitalized during the summer and fall. The Strip, where the state\u2019s largest casinos are located, is south of downtown Las Vegas, outside city limits. Police said \u201ca good portion\u201d of the violence on the Strip has been from out-of-town gang members<\/a> and visitors.<\/p>\n

In response to this surge in violence, the combined city-county police department, known locally as Metro, has implement a program it calls Operation Persistent Pressure. The Nevada Highway Patrol has assisted<\/a> in the program.<\/p>\n

Some hotel-casinos have taken steps on their own to beef up in-house security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
