Police in Michigan said they’re looking into whether the stabbing of a manufacturing company’s president during a meeting this week may have been motivated by the recent killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO in New York.
An employee at Anderson Express in Muskegon, Michigan, is accused of stabbing the company's president during a staff meeting on Tuesday.Police said the employee, identified by local news media as Nathan Mahoney, stabbed company president Erik Denslow in the side with a knife just before 9:30 a.m. He then fled the business in a car but was tracked down and stopped by police just minutes later.Denslow underwent surgery at a local hospital.
Anderson Express specializes in creating casts of tools and prototypes, according to its website. Denslow joined the company in 2022 as vice president and general manager and just a year later rose in the ranks to president, according to his LinkedIn page.A company representative did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment Friday.The stabbing came nearly two weeks after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot outside of a midtown Manhattan hotel.
