The incident has rattled the arts and culture community in New York City and beyond, CBS2's John Dias reported.Saturday afternoon's violent incidentSurveillance video shows a man, identified by police as 60-year-old Gary Cabana, jumped behind the reception desk and lunged toward the workers. He stabbed two people, a man and a woman, both 24, as dozens of others ran for safety.
While police are searching for Cabana, they're also monitoring an active Facebook account that appears to belong to him. Sunday, a post by the account called the stabbing at MoMA a"frame job" and said"words are sharper than knives. Bipolar is a tough road to hoe."Cabana's apartment building is a 10-minute walk from the museum."He likes books and he was in the theatre," neighbor Nancy Mako said."Obviously he likes MoMA, but that relationship is gone.
