MARLOW, Okla. (KSWO) - A Fletcher man is recovering in a hospital after being stabbed earlier this week in Marlow.
Marlow’s police chief said Richard Hancock stabbed a man in the chest at a home off south Second Street.
He said the two were fighting over a woman in the garage when Hancock pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim.
Hancock then dropped the knife and took off.
After a brief chase, Marlow Police and Stephens County Deputies caught and arrested Hancock about eight blocks east of the residence.
Hancock has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
The victim was flown to OU Health for surgery, and is said to be in good condition.
