Revealed by police on Wednesday, the attacker reportedly inflicted around 30 to 40 stab wounds on his victim.
As soon as the crime occurred, security guards intervened and separated the two. The assailant, identified as Dylan Ihmels, aged 25, from Henderson, Nevada, was promptly cuffed and apprehended by law enforcement officials with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD). Ihmels currently charged with an attempt of murder with a deadly weapon and battery with a deadly weapon resulting in considerable injury.

At the time of the stabbings, the victim received six serious abdomen wounds and other cuts on his arms, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
