New Information On Suspect Who Stabbed Minco Officer

A man who reportedly claimed to be both Jesus and the antichrist is locked up, after stabbing a local police officer.

The chaotic scene unfolded in Grady County Tuesday afternoon, with portions of it recorded.

Minco Police Captain Brian Hau asked for an ambulance after Russell Mason stabbed him in front of a house just west of Tuttle on Highway 37.

Mason was the subject of a welfare check. Officers were asked by Mason's wife, Crystal to visit the home because she was worried about his mental state. A dispatcher explained the situation.

"There is a man, a Mr. Russell Mason. He goes back and forth from the antichrist to Jesus, and he is saying he is going to burn the house down while the family is in the house."

Hau was the first to arrive. And authorities say Mason immediately attacked. Hau used his taser to fend off Mason. When that didn't work, authorities said, Hau pulled his weapon on the suspect.

The entire incident lasted 21 minutes. During that time, Hau was stabbed four times - in the head, shoulders, arm and hip. The injured officer then shot Mason in the leg.  

"Get EMS started this way," Hau told dispatch.
