By Chris Bollinger, Community Engagement Officer, Brentwood Police Department
On Friday, October 2, 2026, at approximately 7:58PM, Brentwood officers were dispatched to the 2000 block of Elkins Way for a report of a stabbing. The address is the location of Four Leg Brewing which issued a statement about the incident Saturday morning.
When officers arrived, they quickly located the suspect, an adult male, 53 years old out of Tallahassee, Florida still on scene. The suspect was taken into custody without incident. They also located an adult male victim with several stab wounds to his lower torso. Officers immediately began to provide medical aid to the victim until medical personnel arrived on scene. The victim was then transported to a local hospital for further treatment.
The male, who is being treated, is expected to survive. All evidence indicates this was an isolated incident.
This investigation is ongoing and we will not be releasing any further information at this time. If you have any additional information regarding this incident, you can call the Brentwood Police Department Dispatch line at (925) 809-7911.
