A violent encounter unfolded in the early hours of Thursday in Oklahoma City, resulting in one person injured from a stab wound, as reported by local authorities. The first of a series of incidents occurred in an apartment near NW 122nd St. and Western Ave around 3 a.m., where, according to KFOR, a woman who knocked on the resident's door and was denied entry, returned with two additional women, one of them brandishing a knife. In the ensuing altercation, the victim managed to pick up the dropped knife and use it to stab one of the suspects, who was subsequently hospitalized.

In a separate but similarly violent event, a person was injured in another stabbing that took place in southwest Oklahoma City. The incident happened near Magdalena Drive and Southwest 44th Street, News 9 reported. Details about assailants or potential arrests remain scarce as the police have not provided information on whether any suspects have been detained in connection to the stabbing. The condition of the victim, who was up and moving around before being taken to the hospital, is still unknown.
