The victim entered the car in the casino\u2019s valet area. The driver abducted the man as far as Bayard Street, where the car stopped and another vehicle appeared.<\/p>\n

Five or six bandits approached the victim, according to WBFF<\/em>, a local TV station. They had firearms. The victim was ordered to leave the car.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The man\u2019s cell phone was taken and he was then repeatedly punched in the face. There was no word of how much cash, if any, was stolen. His injuries did not appear to be life-threatening. The suspects had yet to be apprehended as of early this week.<\/p>\n

Word of the assault spread at the casino on Monday.<\/p>\n

That’s a scary thought for anybody,”<\/strong> Daniel Rossi, a casino player, told WBFF<\/em> while at Horseshoe Casino.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“You have to do your best to be aware. But at the end of the day, a scenario like that could happen to anybody,” Rossi added.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Uber Driver Assaulted, Robbed<\/h2>\n

Uber drivers can also be victims of crime.<\/p>\n

In June, a 55-year-old Uber XL driver suffered cuts and bruises on her head, neck, shoulders, and back after several passengers in her van allegedly beat her. She picked up the passengers on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The incident began when the driver, Victoria Partridge<\/a>, drove to Fremont Street, a gambling and entertainment destination. When she arrived, seven young women wanted a ride in her Toyota Sienna. Partridge explained to them she could only seat up to six in the van because of Uber rules and state law.<\/p>\n

The women, who apparently ranged in age between 20 and 23, were adamant they each wanted a ride. Partridge opened the van\u2019s doors repeatedly to get the women to leave, but they kept closing the doors and continued to argue with her. The dispute lasted between five and seven minutes. Partridge eventually relented and drove the seven women to an apartment.<\/p>\n

\n

When the group began exiting the van, the woman sitting in the front passenger seat threw her drink into Partridge\u2019s face. She then threw the cup at Partridge. Partridge tossed it back at her. Another passenger opened the driver\u2019s side door and assaulted Partridge, too. She repeatedly was punched in the face.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A third woman in the back seat grabbed the tip jar and stole the money. One of the passengers also stole Partridge\u2019s cell phone.<\/p>\n

One of the women additionally dented the passenger side door after forcefully kicking it. The vehicle was damaged in several additional locations, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
