LAS VEGAS -- An ax attack that killed a 4-month-old boy in a stroller and left his mother critically injured appeared to be a random act, according to authorities.

Police say they don't think 33-year-old Harold E. Montague knew the woman and the child attacked just before noon Thursday on a residential street several blocks east of the Stratosphere hotel-casino.

Police say the woman was hospitalized in critical condition after Montague ran out of a house and hit her and the boy with a hatchet or small ax.

Police found another woman with stab wounds in a rear bedroom of the home, where police say Montague was living. She was hospitalized in stable condition.

Officers responding to the house near Maryland Parkway and Sahara Avenue said they were forced to stun Montague with a Taser before taking him into custody.

A police officer also received minor injuries after Montague tried to attack him before being arrested, police said.
