Two New York City court officers were slashed in what authorities are calling a “targeted attack.”

On Monday morning at the criminal court building in Lower Manhattan, an incident occurred, according to Al Baker, a spokesman for the state’s Office of Court Administration, as reported by Fox News. 

“Initial reports suggest that at least two Court Officers sustained stab and slash injuries during the incidents that erupted just before 9:45 am in the building’s south side lobby,” Baker stated in a release.

“Several Court Officers quickly responded to apprehend the attacker, overpowering him near a group of magnetometers, confiscating his weapon, and arresting him,” he added.

Although they are both in stable condition and are expected to recover, the New York State Supreme Court Officers Association told local FOX 5 that one of the officers suffered serious injuries to his face and neck. 

A criminal investigation led by the New York State Unified Court System is currently underway. The suspect’s identity and what charges they may face have not yet been released.

The stabbings took place in the same building where President Donald Trump’s criminal trial and Daniel Penny’s trial took place. In December 2024, Penny was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely.
