Jonathan Wohl, 37, was remanded to custody and charged with three counts of attempted murder after allegedly assaulting multiple court officers in Manhattan Criminal Court. Following an attack that left two officers stabbed and three wounded, Wohl, who has unresolved matters in the courthouse, is suspected of having premeditated his actions. District Attorney Alvin Bragg emphasized the dangerous nature of court officers' roles and condemned the assault as unacceptable, demonstrating the serious risks they face in their duties.
Wohl reportedly had several outstanding issues within the courthouse. At this time, it is not immediately clear what the motive behind the alleged attack is, but the DA's office suspects it was a premeditated attack.
The court officers perform a vital and profound function. It's a dangerous job. We are thankful for what they do, said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in a statement.
The defendant, we allege, as it appears, engaged in targeted activity focused on officers. We will not tolerate that in Manhattan.
