| Subject: Human Degeneracy Watch: Two MoMA Workers Stabbed After Man Denied Entry to See Film Sun Mar 13, 2022 12:30 am | |
| Two employees working at the Museum of Modern Art were stabbed Saturday afternoon, prompting an evacuation of the midtown Manhattan museum and a search for the suspected attacker.
NYPD investigators say they know who the suspect is: a 60-year-old man and former member of the museum. He's accused of trying to gain access to the museum to see a film but was denied because his membership had been revoked a day earlier for repeat disturbances, officials said at a police press conference.
After the man wasn't allowed past the museum entrance, police said he jumped over the reception desk around 4:15 p.m. and stabbed two employees -- a 24-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man -- multiple times.
Emergency personnel transported the two victims to Bellevue Hospital where they were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, police and fire officials said.
The man was seen on video leaving the building and police know which direction he was fleeing. He's also described by police as a museum regular, someone who staff was familiar with. They also said he was wearing a black jacket and a blue surgical mask.
UPDATE: Two employees stabbed at Museum of Modern Art. Police say the 60 year-old suspect, who is still on the run, just yesterday had a letter sent to him revoking his membership.
