Jonathan Wohl, 37, has been indicted for attempted murder and assault after attacking court officers at a Manhattan courthouse. The incident occurred on June 16, when Wohl slashed an officer's face and another's neck, leading to injuries that required hospitalization. A third officer was pushed into a metal barrier, and additional officers sustained injuries during the altercation. Wohl was arrested at the scene, and authorities found notes illustrating his animosity towards the legal system. This incident highlights the risks faced by court officers in maintaining security.
Court officers have the incredibly challenging job of keeping everyone in our courthouses safe, including judges, staff, attorneys, victims, witnesses, the public, and those facing criminal charges. We have absolutely no tolerance for any attack on their safety, and the significant charges in this indictment reflect the seriousness with which we are treating this matter.
Wohl possessed handwritten notes indicating animosity towards the court system, judges, prosecutors, and police at the time of his arrest.
