LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Las Vegas man has died in custody after an apparent “medical crisis” at a car dealership, authorities said.
Police Capt. Sasha Larkin said officers responded to a call Monday around 1:40 p.m. after an employee reported that a man in his early 30s had entered the business and was rambling incoherently.
Larkin said the caller told police the man was “striking numerous employees,” before he was taken to the ground by other workers and citizens in the area.
Authorities said when officers arrived, they placed the man in a “recovery position” to check his breathing, which was considered labored and inconsistent. Police then called medical assistance, who pronounced the man dead at the scene.
One other person was taken to the hospital for medical attention, but Larkin said the others were “okay.”
Police did not identify the man. No other information was immediately made available.
