Las Vegas Metropolitan Police have
been dealing with a somewhat new issue in recent weeks. It's a
practice called "swarming."
Simply, large groups of mostly
teenagers pick out a victim and launch a vicious collective attack.
Several of these and similar attacks
have occurred in the greater Las Vegas area in the past month, and
police are closely monitoring.
In the most recent attack, an employee
of MGM was targeted for no apparent reason and severely beaten.
The incident was
caught on tape by area security cameras.
So far, only one arrest has been made,
but police are hoping that by releasing the video, more of the
actors will be identified and brought to justice.
