OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – A teen is facing felony charges, accused of attacking three employees and injuring a police officer at a mental health care facility.
KFOR obtained court documents that explained what happened the night those three employees were attacked at the Oklahoma County Crisis Intervention Center.
Court records reveal that 19-year-old Christian Green became combative with medical staff during his intake process on March 13. He said he was experiencing suicidal thoughts.
Documents reveal Green tore a metal clip off a clipboard and began cutting himself.
A triage specialist tried to intervene and prevent him from harming himself. Investigators stated Green then slashed the back of her head using the same metal clip.
Court documents reveal a mental health technician was also hit over the head with “a hole punch during a struggle.”
Once a responding officer arrived at the facility, a scuffle between Green and the officer transpired.
Investigators stated Green allegedly grabbed the officer s gun and pulled the trigger. The bullet grazed the officer.
The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services released this statement in part:
