Emergency Medical Services brought the victims to Bellevue Hospital within minutes, according to a briefing fromThe attack took place at 4:15 p.m. on Saturday afternoon after the perpetrator—a regular at the museum—was denied entrance because his membership had been revoked after two separate incidents of disorderly conduct there in recent days, the police said. He had received a letter about the revocation one day earlier.

By the time Artnet News got outside and circled back to 53rd Street, an ambulance was speeding away.
