A boyfriend stabbed another man after his girlfriend said he “tried to flirt with her,” authorities in Oklahoma said.

Officers with the Tulsa Police Department were called to an apartment complex at about 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, according to a news release shared on Facebook.

They found a man who was stabbed in his chest, officials said, and paramedics rushed him to a hospital with a collapsed lung.

Witnesses reported the woman told her boyfriend about the man’s attempt to flirt, according to the release. He went and got a knife before going to stab the other man, officials said.

Witnesses said the suspect told them he had just stabbed someone, according to police.

The suspect escaped from the apartment complex, but a Tulsa Police helicopter tracked him down on an interstate before he was arrested.

The stabbing victim was last listed in stable condition.
