8 Detained In Fight After MLK Las Vegas Parade

LAS VEGAS (AP) — At least eight suspects were detained in Las Vegas after a fight involving dozens of people broke out downtown following the 36th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade.

Police said they had the situation under control shortly after a series of altercations in downtown Las Vegas about 4 p.m. Monday.

The Las Vegas Sun reported no arrests had been made and no major injuries were reported but medical personnel were requested for one man who was apparently punched in the lip.

It's not clear what started the fight.

Police Lt. Grant Rogers told KVVU-TV police received at least three calls from witnesses reporting fights had broken out after the parade on 3rd Street and Fremont Street.
