NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- A man suspected of stabbing two employees at the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown last year was charged following his extradition, police said Wednesday.
Gary Cabana, 60, was extradited to New York City late Tuesday from Philadelphia, where he was arrested three days after the March 2022 attack.
Caban, of Midtown, was charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of assault.
He was being held at the Midtown North Precinct stationhouse.
Caban is suspected of stabbing two MoMA employees—a man and a woman, both 24 years old—on the afternoon of March 12.
The man suffered a stab wound to his left collarbone, while the woman suffered two stab wounds to her lower back and the back of her neck.
Cabana became upset after he wasn’t allowed entrance to the museum, police said.
Surveillance video from the stabbing showed Cabana leaping over a desk in the museum's entrance and assaulting the two victims.
Police arrested him in the early morning hours of March 15 at the Philadelphia Greyhound Terminal, where he was found sleeping on a bench.
Cabana was wanted in Philadelphia for setting a fifth-floor hotel room on fire at the Best Western Center City just hours before he was busted, the city’s police chief said.
In a lengthy Facebook rant, Cabana allegedly described the stabbing as “SCREAM 6 at MoMA” and a “poke poke poke wake-up call.”
