The suspect’s caregiver, a 49-year-old man, was stabbed multiple times, including in the chest and neck. He was first stabbed while providing treatment for the patient in a room, according to Hansen. The caregiver chased the patient down the hall and was stabbed again, he said.

Another employee at the facility intervened by throwing a chair at the patient, slowing him down long enough for a security guard to subdue him at gunpoint, according to a press release from the Maple Heights Police Department.

Police officers then arrived at the scene and took the patient into custody.

The stabbing happened at about 1:20 p.m.
