Disgruntled ex-MoMA staffer charged with trying to murder 2 in caught-on-camera attack, NYPD says
Both museum employees were recovering at home in the days after the attack and expected to be OK.
In the days afterward, Cabana took to social media with a series of rambling posts denying he'd misbehaved prior to losing his MoMA membership. He also tried to minimize the attack, saying it was a"poke poke poke wake-up call" and accused museum staff of framing him. The Philly arson case stemmed from him torching a Best Western Plus hotel room on Vine Street -- an incident that was also captured on surveillance video.
The hotel receptionist called authorities to say a guest had signed in under the last name Cabana but used his middle name rather than his first, law enforcement sources had said. Philly cops canvassed the area and found him on the bench. He had been held in Philly pending court appearances and psychiatric evaluations there prior to Wednesday.
