Woman Stabbed With X-Acto Knife at Art Basel

He was then shot twice by an officer holding an AR-15-style rifle almost simultaneously. Shortly after the man puts his hands on a police cruiser, one of the cops fires, and the man falls to the ground clutching his chest.

“From what I saw, he just didn’t want to cooperate”, Johnson said.

Photos have began to emerge on social media showing his body on the road draped by a sheet along with a heavy police presence in the area. Some patrons thought the stabbing was a performanceart presentation. She said she did not see a Taser go off.

“He was challenged by the officers in the street”, Oates said, “and at some point during that confrontation he did raise his hand with a straight edge razor in it, and he was shot”.

The suspect was surrounded by several officers when he was shot.

The Miami Beach police said Saturday that its police department and the FBI would investigate the bank robbery.

Patrons at an Art Basel event in Miami obliviously watched a woman being stabbed on her arms and neck Friday night, thinking it was performance art.

The motivation for the incident is now unknown, but Miami artist Naomi Fisher, whose “The Swamp of Sagittarius” installation is now on display in the Nova section, told the Herald that she saw a woman being carried away by paramedics.

A bank robbery suspect armed with a straight razor was killed in a police-involved shooting on Alton Road in Miami Beach Saturday morning, officials said.

Zhao stabbed the victim in the neck with a craft knife, WSVN reported.

She said a fellow artist at the gallery showed her a picture taken on a mobile phone of a woman dressed in white who was covered in blood. The young victim was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Zhao said, according to her arrest report. “I feel nauseous”, she said.

Eyewitnesses thought the stabbing was a form of performance art and nothing more than an act. Zhao is now facing an attempted murder charge.
