TULSA, Okla. — The Tulsa Police Department is searching for a person accused of stabbing a man at Leake Park near 71st and Memorial.

TPD said the victim met the man at the park after talking on the dating app Grindr.

Around 10:45 on Monday night, police said the man rode to the park on a bike and got in the back seat of the victim's car with the victim, TPD said.

The man allegedly started attacking the victim. "Immediately, when he got into the car, he began stabbing him," Officer Danny Bean told 2 News Oklahoma. "He has stab wounds on his neck, his face, his hands. Witness stated he saw the car pull in and minutes later, our victim running towards him with blood and stab wounds all over."

Police said the assailant took off. The victim ran to a witness at the other end of the parking lot, who called 911.

The victim had emergency surgery, and is expected to make a full recovery.

TPD asks anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (918) 585-5209.
