On-the-run Broadway usher is charged with attempted murder for MoMA attack

A fleeing Broadway theater usher has finally been charged in a March attack on two employees at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Gary Cabana, 60, was extradited to the Big Apple this week from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where police found him sleeping at a Greyhound bus terminal three days after he allegedly stabbed two 24-year-old museum employees to death.

He is now charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of assault for the attack.

Cabana previously pleaded guilty to arson in Philadelphia, where he set fire to his hotel room when employees there denied his request to extend his stay. New York 1 reports.

Authorities say Cabana attacked employees after his museum pass was revoked for “disorderly conduct.” He then taunted the cops online that they would still “still be doing paperwork” while he remained on the run.

Cabana allegedly went into a frenzy on March 12, a day after his museum membership was revoked for two unspecified incidents involving disorderly conduct.

Gruesome video footage from inside the museum shows him leaping onto the reception desk, pulling out a knife and stabbing the two unidentified employees before fleeing.

Police said one of the employees was a 24-year-old woman who was being treated for stab wounds to the lower back and a stab wound to the back of the head. The other was stabbed in the clavicle.

From there, authorities said, he fled to Philadelphia, where he checked into a Best Western under his middle and last name, but used his rewards card identifying his full name.

But when hotel staff told him he couldn’t extend his stay, police said, Cabana vandalized his fifth-floor hotel room and set the place on fire.

No injuries were reported, but the room was badly damaged and the hotel had to be evacuated, the New York Daily News reported at the time.

After the fire, police said, a hotel staff member decided to Google his name and discovered he was being searched for in connection with the museum stabbing.

The staff member immediately called the police, who found him sleeping at a Greyhound bus terminal and arrested him.

Cabana later praised the Philadelphia cops as the “best cops in America,” reports the Daily News.

“They just made America safe. I’m public enemy number one.”

He was then scheduled to undergo a mental health evaluation before he could be arraigned on arson charges.

Cabana was arrested in Philadelphia, where police found him sleeping at a Greyhound bus terminal just days after the alleged stabbing.

Cabana was seen on surveillance footage going up to the reception desk on March 12.

Cabana, 60, is shown viciously attacking the two women in the museum before fleeing.

Cabana is shown climbing onto the desk with a knife in hand and approaching the two workers. Authorities say the attack came just a day after his museum pass was revoked.

As he fled, Cabana continued to post on social media.

On Facebook, he wrote: ‘Bipolar is a hard road to hoe. Dr Jekyll to Mr Hyde. THEN you are framed and evicted from MoMA (not just movies, but ALL ART) by a sour old woman who shushes you when you LAUGH during a comedy,” Cabana wrote.

He seems to blame a woman named Barbara for being kicked out of the museum.

‘She’s the threat, NOT ME. Total Frame work by the gang ‘The Team Barbara’. It wasn’t SCREAM 6 at MoMA, it was poke poke poke wake-up call. and MoMA framework work, get your facts straight.’

He also criticized MoMA for the way the employees allegedly treated it and criticized the news coverage of the attack.

‘What’s worse? Hackers or Journalists. Right now I LOVE MY HACKERS for distracting me from this MoMA framework,” Cabana wrote on Facebook.

‘THERE WERE NO INTERRUPTIONS. Security NEVER escorted me from MoMA on the 2 ‘alleged’ days I ‘wronged: 2/24 + 3/9’. Total blindside when I received ‘the letter’ from Daniel P.’

And Cabana blasted the “malicious beeyotches of the world,” apparently referencing the museum worker who turned him away from Saturday’s screening of The Baby Maid.

‘There is security at EVERY screening. Nobody has ever said, come with us U ra interruption NOBODY #nO1. Just this scheming woman liar. I interviewed HIS newspapers and never had a meeting for sure, just a blind letter.
