Manhattan courthouse officers were stabbed in what officials believe was a targeted attack. The suspect is in custody. Local law enforcement has launched an investigation into the incident, which occurred late Tuesday afternoon at the courthouse in Lower Manhattan.
Authorities have not yet disclosed any motive for the attack, though officials are treating it as a potential act of violence motivated by personal or ideological reasons. The injured officers are receiving medical attention, and the incident is under review by both local and federal authorities.
Mayor Eric Adams has ordered a review of security protocols at public buildings following the attack. The city is working with federal agencies to determine if there is any link to broader threats or extremist activity. At this time, no official connection has been made to any group or individual beyond the suspect in custody.
