Police had been searching for the mother after she allegedly bound and gagged her three daughters by duct taping their hands and stuffing socks in their mouths on Tuesday morning. 

She then began stabbing her 11-year-old daughter repeatedly. 

The seven-year-old girl managed to help her nine-year-old sister escape so she could run to a nearby house for help.

By the time police arrived at the home, Ahmad had already fled with her youngest daughter. 

Police found the kitchen on fire and the 11-year-old suffering multiple stab wounds. . Footage shot by Fox23 shows fire crews and police inspecting the one-story family home.

The injured girl remains in a critical condition in hospital and authorities say she was stabbed so many times they were unable to count the exact number of wounds. 

Police said she was still unconscious and that her condition was ‘very severe. 

The mother and daughter were found after two women spotted a vehicle similar to what police described in an Amber Alert issued earlier on Tuesday. 

Ahmad is currently being questioned by the Tulsa Police Department.  

Police had initially said it was unclear where Ahmad may have been headed but that she had lived in Tennessee and Texas in the past. 

Ahmad may be suffering from mental health or drug related issues, according to police.
