NEW YORK: Two female employees were stabbed inside New York's prestigious Museum of Modern Art on Saturday, allegedly by an angry patron, police said, causing the museum to be evacuated.The women were injured 'in the back, in the collarbone, in the back of the neck' but are both 'going to be ok,' said John Miller, New York police department deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism.
The suspect, who had not been arrested as of late Saturday afternoon, was known to police as a regular visitor to MoMA, whose membership card had been expired after 'two incidents involving disorderly conduct' in recent days, Miller said.On Saturday, when the man was refused entry, 'he became upset... then jumped over the reception desk and proceeded to attack and stab two employees of the museum multiple times,' Miller added.
