The Knife-Wielding Man Accused of Stabbing Three Officers in Manhattan Courthouse Attack Pleads Not Guilty

Jonathan Wohl, a 37-year-old man accused of stabbing three officers in a violent attack at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, pleaded not guilty in court on Thursday. The incident, which took place on June 16, saw Wohl charged with two counts of attempted murder in the first degree. Wohl, who has a history of antagonizing law enforcement, was held without bail as he faced the judge in the same courthouse where the attack occurred.

During the court proceedings, several uniformed officers stood in solidarity with their injured colleagues, underscoring the gravity of the situation. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg emphasized the importance of safeguarding courthouse security, expressing zero tolerance for any threats or violence directed at court officers.

According to prosecutors, Wohl launched his brutal assault as soon as he entered the courthouse, swiftly attacking officers stationed at the security checkpoint. Armed with a folding knife, Wohl viciously slashed and stabbed three officers, causing severe injuries before being subdued and arrested.

One officer was assaulted multiple times in the face and knocked down, while another officer sustained cuts to the face, neck, and back. The violent altercation left a sergeant with broken ribs and another officer with bruises. Prosecutors highlighted the potentially fatal nature of the attack, noting that a different type of blade could have resulted in even graver consequences.

Wohl, currently held without bail, is facing serious charges that reflect the magnitude of his actions. The case is scheduled for further proceedings on October 9, as the legal system seeks to ensure justice for the injured officers and uphold the safety of all individuals within the courthouse environment.
