Manic barges into NYC courthouse and slashes officers in neck and face

A maniac barged into a Lower Manhattan courthouse and slashed two officers in the neck and face in a shocking attack Monday morning, law enforcement sources said.

Jonathan Wohl, 37, of Queens, ran into the lobby of Manhattan Criminal Court at 100 Centre Street around 9:30 a.m. and suddenly ambushed the officers, according to the sources.

He cut one of the officers twice on his face and sliced the other on the neck – before shoving a third into a barrier in the main lobby, the sources said.

Wohl was then taken into custody on the fourth floor of the courthouse.

The brute did not have a court appearance scheduled Monday morning, sources said, and the motive for the attack is unknown.

Wohl has been arrested 18 times in the past – mostly for drugs – but only three of those cases remain open, according to the sources.

The appalling attack comes as New York State Supreme Court Officers Association revealed that staffing at the city’s courthouses has plummeted to “bleak” levels – potentially endangering  judges, jurors and the public.

The crazed attacker has been a regular problem at the courthouse, a police source said.

“He’s always harassing the court officers,” the source told The Post. “He said he wanted to kill them.”
