NYC Man Who Allegedly ‘Snapped’ and Stabbed Two MoMA Staffers Over His Membership Being Revoked Indicted on Attempted Murder Charges

“As alleged, Gary Cabana brutally stabbed two employees of this historic cultural institution simply because he was banned from entering,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “Everyone deserves to be safe in their workplace, and we will not tolerate violence against hardworking New Yorkers.”

According to court documents and statements made on the record in court, Cabana was a member of and frequent visitor to MoMA until his membership was revoked after a series of verbal altercations with patrons and employees. When Cabana returned to the museum on March 12, 2022, security guards informed him that he was officially banned from entering the museum. Cabana returned later that afternoon, jumped over the ticket counter, and stabbed two employees multiple times in the back, neck, and torso.
