LAS VEGAS - The early morning hours of June 7, 2009 turned violent at Mr. D's Sports Bar and Grill. Authorities say two outlaw motorcycle gangs, the Bandidos and its affiliated group Down and Dirty, stabbed two other bikers. The victims were part of the Flaming Knights, a motorcycle club.

After a year-long local and federal probe into the motorcycle mayhem, authorities arrested seven local members of the Bandidos and three members of the Down and Dirty gang. A criminal indictment was sealed in court last month, but court documents obtained by 8 News NOW reveal the circumstances surrounding the attack.

According to the documents, "The Flaming Knights did not have permission to wear the colors 'red and gold' from the Bandidos or Down and Dirty." The Bandidos and Down and Dirty suspects were seen on the bar's surveillance tape "punching, kicking and beating" two victims. The attack left one man "fighting for his life" according to the police report.

The district attorney is charging all ten suspects with attempted murder, robbery, battery, and conspiracy. All the charges include criminal gang enhancements. Ultimately, these members of the Bandidos and Down and Dirty could face life in prison if convicted. All the suspects are still in custody.
