Knifing victim hospitalized after slash to face

A man is hospitalized after his nephew reportedly slashed his face with a knife during a fight.

Tulsa police were called to a house near 1000 East Pine Place after a woman heard a fight going on between her husband and her nephew about 2:11 a.m. Tuesday.

"She turned on the lights (and) discovered that her brother Edward Vanwoudenbert had been cut in the face at least once with a steak knife," Tulsa Police Corporal Brandon Disney said.

He tells us that the cause of the fight is unknown.

"She said that her brother had been drinking earlier but this wasn't any drunken brawl, per se, and she didn't know what the cause of the fight was. She just woke up to them already fighting." 

We're told that the victim was taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Police are looking for the suspect, 43-year old Jesse Childers, who left the scene.
