Man attacks, stabs Manhattan Apple store guard over COVID mask rule

A man who didn’t want to wear a mask while visiting a Manhattan Apple store stabbed a security guard on Friday night, witnesses and police sources said.

The suspect approached the Ninth Ave. entrance of the Apple store on W. 14th St. in the Meatpacking District around 6 p.m., said the witnesses.

The unidentified man confronted the guard when he was asked to put on a face mask, said a police source and witnesses.

“I heard them yelling and pushing and shoving,” longtime area resident Roberto Monticello said of the feud between the guard and the unmasked man.
