Man Suffered Punctured Lungs After Car Key Stabbing In Oak Creek: Cops

OAK CREEK, WI — A man is facing a criminal charge after he repeatedly stabbed someone with a car key at an Oak Creek movie theater on Nov. 1, according to a criminal complaint.

Police initially said a fight broke out leading to a teen getting stabbed inside the South Shore movie theater at 7261 South 13th Street. The teen suffered two punctured lungs and multiple stab wounds, according to a criminal complaint.

Police used a taser device when they arrived at the scene, a news release said. The person who was stabbed was 19, police said. Another 29-year-old was injured at the scene though they refused care.

A 22-year-old man from Milwaukee, Syafiq Mohamed-Hussin, is now facing a charge of first-degree reckless injury in connection with the stabbing. Video captured from the theater showed Mohamed-Hussin approaching the teen and making numerous punch-type motions into his body late that evening, according to the complaint.

Mohamed-Hussin later turned himself in to the police admitting that he used a key to stab the teen, but saying that he thought the teen had beaten up one of his friends, according to the complaint.

The defendant told police he used a car key, the complaint said. He told officers that he believed the teen had knocked a friend unconscious and that "he wanted to make the guy hurt," according to the criminal complaint.

If found guilty, Mohamed-Hussin could face up to 25 years in prison and up to $100,000 in fines.
