NEW YORK — — A man stabbed two employees inside the Museum of Modern Art in New York on Saturday afternoon, leaping over a reception desk to attack them after he was denied entrance for previous incidents of disorderly conduct, authorities said.
“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,” Miller said. Miller did not identify the man by name but described him as a white male wearing a black jacket, blue surgical mask, a colorfully patterned shirt and hood. He said the man was a “regular” at the museum, and that the museum had adequate security.
He was diverted to the side on his way out as a stretcher was hurriedly brought inside. Police vehicles and ambulances, their emergency lights flashing, thronged the outside of the museum as dozens of patrons hurried away.
