Police Search For Suspect In Attack Near Desert Springs Hospital

Posted:

Police are searching for a suspect in a vicious attack in a hospital parking lot.

Police have released two sketches of the suspect.

Action News reporter Heather Klein has the details behind the attack.

Detectives say he kidnapped, robbed and sexually assaulted someone around midnight Sunday just outside Desert Springs Hospital.

Desert Springs is located near Flamingo and Burnham.

Police say the man had been seen lingering in the area before the attack.

As of right now, police are not saying whether the victim is an employee of the hospital or if she was visiting someone.

The suspect is 20- 25 years old about 5'9" and weighing about 130 to 150 pounds with blonde whiskers on his chin.

He was wearing a dark baseball cap, square silver rimmed glasses, jeans and a dark shirt with gold letters.

Nurses around the hospital say they are being extra careful.

"I am surprised we have pretty good security and they are on patrol on a regular basis. Yeah, this is not a dangerous place to be," said Marianne Medlock.

If you have any information call Crime Stoppers at 702 - 385 - 5555.
