A routine traffic stop turned into a life-or-death struggle when an Edmond police officer was ambushed by a man armed with pepper spray and a large knife.

The entire encounter—fast, violent, and deliberate—was captured on the officer’s body camera in a parking lot near the busy intersection of 15th Street and Broadway Extension.

On May 1, just before 5 p.m., Officer Caleb Hodam was wrapping up a traffic stop and issuing a warning to a driver when a man with no connection to the stop approached him. That man—later identified as 22-year-old Ocean Hudson—walked up and reportedly said, “I have something to report.”

Then came the attack—swift, targeted, and apparently premeditated.
