I watched the linked TV video report, and the witness spoke with his back turned, his face hidden. But it showed a contusion/wound on his hand, a fighting injury it looked like, and his skin was white. “Oddly,” no description of the fugitive perp was given.
The Las Vegas Review Journal version omitted any description of the would-be rapists as well. The commenters on that site were complaining about this omission and then one linked to another site which included the following:
Police said the victims were forced to the ground by two black men who were armed with shotguns.
It's like it's a state secret or something that the armed fugitive is black!
