LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas police on Tuesday released recordings of 911 calls made by two convenience store employees reporting an attack on a customer, and later the “gruesome” scene that police allege involved the same suspect eating parts of a man’s face.

Colin Czech, 29, was arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on a count of open murder, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

In the first call at 4:42 a.m. April 28, a 7-Eleven employee told police that a man had tackled one of his customers that morning outside the convenience store at 1100 Las Vegas Boulevard South.

“I have this dude outside,” the employee said. “He just jumped one of my customers.”

The employee said that he had broken up the attack and tried talking to the perpetrator to no avail.

“He’s been standing here all night, and he finally did put his hands on somebody,” the employee said.

The victim was inside the store and appeared to be OK, the employee told the dispatcher.

“He’s banging his head against the concrete right now,” the witness said about Czech, adding that he was pacing and appeared to be on drugs. “He’s out of it.”

The dispatcher asked the employee to not approach the alleged attacker.

“He’s on all fours like he’s a dog about to rush the store,” the employee said about the attacker. “I need somebody to come get him now.”
