knife off of him
I got the knife off of him before he ran away.
Please explain the highlighed group of words. Or rephrase the whole sentence please.
I understood the sentence soemthing like this, "I have managed to get knife forcefully from him before he ran away".

Hi,
I got the knife off of him before he ran away.
This seems sub-standard to me. I'd say I got the knife off him before he ran away.
In an exam or an interview for a good job, I would advise you not to use 'off of'.
Best wishes, Clive
