Man walks into Centennial Hills Hospital with knife stuck in back

A man with a knife jutting from his back walked into Centennial Hills Hospital after midnight Wednesday asking for help, the Metropolitan Police Department said.

The man drove himself to the northwest valley hospital and pulled up just after 1:30 a.m., Metro spokesman Larry Hadfield said. It was unclear where the man came from, how the knife ended up in his back or who may have put it there.

Police were notified when the man showed up, and the man was transferred to University Medical Center for trauma treatment.

“He is in serious but stable condition,” Hadfield said Wednesday afternoon.

Hadfield said Metro is investigating the case.
