A 25-year-old man was stabbed while smoking a cigarette outside of his apartment early Monday, police said.

The man was attacked in the 4900 block of South Lewis Avenue around 4 a.m. after an assailant jumped out of the rear passenger seat of a newer model, black Chevrolet Tahoe, said Officer Leland Ashley.

The man suffered a cut to his hand and to his left shoulder before the assailant pulled out a handgun and the victim fled, Ashley said.

Investigators said a motive was not immediately apparent.

The assailant is described as black, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 215 pounds. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants.

Anyone with information about the stabbing is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-2677 or submit at tip online at tulsaworld.com/crimestoppers.
