Members of the New York City Police Department gather in the lobby of the Museum of Modern Art after a stabbing was reported Saturday.Two women were stabbed inside New York City’s Museum of Modern Art on Saturday afternoon by a man who had recently had his membership revoked over past incidents, police said.
The suspect, a 60-year-old man known to both MOMA and authorities, was not in custody Saturday evening, the New York Police Department said. The stabbing happened about 4:15 p.m. when the man approached the reception area at the midtown Manhattan museum with the reported intent of seeing a film, said John Miller, NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism.
After the man was rejected because his membership was no longer active, a result of recent disorderly conduct incidents, he jumped over a reception desk and stabbed the two MOMA employees multiple times, Miller said."We are told they are both going to be OK," Miller said.Miller said the letter revoking the suspect's museum membership went out Friday, but it wasn't clear if the suspect knew that before he arrived.Video from the scene appeared to show museumgoers evacuating.
The stabbing was under investigation. The institution did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
