Officers found a 15-year-old victim near the entrance with a severe knife wound to his upper left chest. Venue security guards were already administering first aid.

Police said officers discovered the two teens had a history of arguments and crossed paths at the venue. A verbal argument started, and the 16-year-old suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim.

Witnesses pointed out the suspect in the parking lot, and officers quickly took him into custody while managing a large crowd. Both the victim and multiple witnesses later identified him as the attacker.

The victim was transported to St. Francis Hospital, where he was treated, received staples, and was later discharged in stable condition.
Police said due to the severity of the attack, the 16-year-old suspect is being charged as a youthful offender for assault and battery with a deadly weapon. He was booked into the Tulsa County Juvenile Detention Center.
