Adam Carter, 47, was charged with attempted murder<\/a> after he attacked another man at about 5:30 p.m. Sunday outside of the Excalibur Hotel and Casino.<\/a><\/p>\n

The victim was slashed with a steak knife<\/a> equipped with a six-inch blade, police said.<\/p>\n

The incident began when the victim and his wife were walking on a pedestrian bridge and Carter randomly asked the man for some water. When the man apparently ignored Carter, the suspect slashed him with the knife.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The victim suffered cuts to his liver and gallbladder, and was lying on the pavement when Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers arrived.<\/p>\n

Underwent Surgery, ICU Treatment<\/h2>\n

He was rushed to University Medical Center<\/a>. Doctors performed surgery and he was placed in an intensive care unit, according to Las Vegas TV station KSNV.<\/p>\n

Updated information on the victim\u2019s condition wasn\u2019t immediately available.<\/p>\n

The victim wasn\u2019t identified but police said he was older than 60 years of age.<\/p>\n

The walkway where the attack took place runs between New York-New York Hotel & Casino and the Excalibur Hotel & Casino.<\/p>\n

Carter was apprehended shortly after the stabbing. He was found outside of the Shake Shack which is inside the New York-New York casino. The knife was found on a nearby street.<\/p>\n

When officers spoke to Carter, he uttered phrases such as \u201csomeone is gonna kill me\u201d and \u201cthey\u2019re chasing me.\u201d\u00a0Before the stabbing, he had smoked methamphetamine<\/a> (meth) and drank some alcohol, KSNV reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carter was booked and placed in the Clark County Detention Center where he remained as of this weekend. No bond was set.<\/p>\n

Carter wouldn\u2019t allow officials to transport him to a local courthouse on Tuesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n

Later in the week, Judge Elana Lee Graham directed that Carter must appear in court on Monday \u201cby any means necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tourists Comment<\/h2>\n

Visitors to the Las Vegas Strip told Las Vegas TV station KLAS the stabbing was scary.<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s kind of unbelievable, a little bit scary,\u201d Chad Numrich said in a statement to KLAS. \u201cJust because it could be anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHonestly it can happen anywhere,\u201d Laura Calk added to the TV station. \u201cAnd we just have to kind of keep our guard up a little.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you come here, you have to be wary,\u201d Becky Flores also told KLAS.<\/p>\n

Carter also was charged in connection with a prior incident. He damaged property inside Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center and was given probation last month, KLAS reported. He will make restitution to that hospital.<\/p>\n
