Chilling video shows man jump over counter before stabbing MoMA employees. JohnBDias has the latest on the search for the suspect:
is monitoring a Facebook account that police believe may be the attacker's. In a recent post on the page, he claims he's being framed.The suspect, identified by police as 60-year-old Gary Cabana, can be seen jumping behind the reception desk and lunging toward workers. Police said he stabbed two of them -- a man and woman, both 24 years old.
Investigators said Cabana, who was a regular at the museum, was denied access to watch a film. His membership had been revoked because of two previous disorderly conduct incidents. "He became upset about not being allowed entrance, and then jumped over the reception desk, and proceeded to attack and stab two employees of the museum multiple times," said NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller.Chaos unfolded after the attack as people scrambled to get out.
"We just saw commotion. People running down the escalator, down the stairs," patron Dee Daily said."They rushed us to the back. The employees rushed us to the back, into the basement, like a safe room.""It was nerve wracking, really," he said."I was trying to keep myself calm for my daughter. You've got to think rationally in those situations." On Twitter, the MoMA thanked everyone for the support and said it will reopen Tuesday.
