Dr. Weiss' office building.
Via the HP ~
A New York City psychiatrist was assaulted on Monday by a sledgehammer-wielding man with a reported history of mental illness.
Police say that Jason Nolan, 20, came by the office of 38-year-old Dr. Michael Weiss around 10:30 a.m., according to the New York Daily News. Nolan was not a patient of Weiss', but the two are acquainted because Nolan's cousin is Weiss' ex-girlfriend and mother to Weiss' child.
According to the New York Post, the two men were in a disagreement regarding tuition fees for the child.
During the visit, Weiss told police, Nolan went into the bathroom and came out carrying a sledgehammer. Nolan allegedly hit the psychiatrist with the hammer before pulling out a knife and repeatedly stabbing him.
Weiss says he was able to wrest the knife out of his attacker's hand and then stab him several times in self-defense. Neither man suffered life-threatening injuries.
Nolan was charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
Weiss' family told the New York Daily News that Nolan has a history of mental illness.

OK, so this guy takes a hit with a sledge hammer, gets stabbed several times and then stabs the other guy several times?
WTF? Where do these guys learn hand to hand combat? If you got a hammer and a knife, the other guy should be fucked.
