The stabbing victim was transported to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to police.

Officers learned the suspect, Christopher Brittian, 43, fled the scene in a vehicle.

Police said around 20 minutes after the stabbing call, Sgt. Julian Barrie with the Oklahoma City Police Department noticed Brittian driving erratically through a parking lot near Southwest 104th Street and South Western Avenue.

Barrie conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle where he realized Brittian was the suspect from the stabbing, police said.

Brittian exited the vehicle and advanced toward Barrie while wielding a knife over his head, according to police.

Officers said Barrie gave several commands to stop and drop the knife before Brittian refused and was shot.

Brittian was transported to a nearby hospital and will be booked on assault complaints, according to police.
