2 employees at MoMA stabbed by man whose membership was revoked​

MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) -- Two employees were stabbed inside the Museum of Modern Art on Saturday afternoon, police say.

Police say the suspect, came to the museum around 4:15 p.m. and stabbed two employees. They say the suspect was a member of the museum and had just received a letter revoking his membership a day prior. The man wanted to see a film and jumped the reception desk and proceeded to attack and stab the employees in the back, collar bone, and neck.

Both victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where they are in stable condition and expected to be okay.

Police say they know who the suspect is because they are looking for him in connection with two prior incidents in Midtown. Employees of the museum also know the suspect, because he is a museum regular. He was seen on surveillance video fleeing the museum after the attack.

I looked up the prices of membership for these sorts of places (CHANEL sponsors film series) and the cost for just anyone to walk up and buy a ticket for a film:

Some people take their culture and art waaaaaay too seriously.

The deranged homeless man sought in the stabbings of two Museum of Modern Art employees went on a bizarre rant on social media Sunday — while still on the run from cops.

“Bipolar is a tough road to hoe,” Gary Cabana railed on Facebook. “Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde on the 2 ‘supposed’ days I ‘acted up: 2/24 +. 3/9. Total blind side when I got ‘the letter’ from Daniel P.

“NOTE to catty beeyotches of the world, words are sharper than knives,” the rant said. “THEN U get framed ind (sic) evicted from MoMA (not just the movies, ALL THE ART too by a bitter old woman who shushes U when U LAUGH during a comedy. She’s the menace, NOT ME.”

Cabana, 60, calls the allegations a “total frame job” by officials at the museum.

“What is worse? Hackers or Journos,” he wrote. “Right now, I LOVE MY HACKERS for taking my mind off this frame job by MoMA. THERE WERE NO DISRUPTIONS.”

Cabana also taunted cops on his Instagram page while responding to commenters who urged him to turn himself in to police.

“They knew who I was all along but the morons wasted hours searching the museum when I was OBVIOUSLY LONG GONE with hundreds of witnesses WATCHING but no HEROES in the crowd that day,” he gloated to one user.

“NYC has turned in to a bunch of MIND-YO-BIDNESS PUSSIES,” he wrote. “Not one person followed me as I run down 53td st (sic) with a bloody face from where the security hit me with a piece of lucite….”

He added the hashtag, “poetic justice.”

A man suspected of stabbing two employees of New York City’s Museum of Modern Art was captured Tuesday in Philadelphia after allegedly starting a hotel fire, officials said.

Gary Cabana, 60, will face charges in the double stabbing when he is extradited to New York, police said.

The stabbings happened about 4:15 p.m. Saturday when the suspect 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.
