Not South African working on passenger ferry ‘stabs people with medical scissors’

A South African man accused of stabbing several people with medical scissors after trying to get off a cruise ship in Alaska has been arrested.

Ntando Sogoni, 35, an employee on the vessel, was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday after disembarking from the ship in Juneau.

The U.S. attorney’s office said other ship employees saw him attempting to deploy a lifeboat Monday.

Ship security escorted him to the medical center on board for an assessment. Once there, court documents state, “Sogoni physically attacked a security guard and a male nurse in an examination room and proceeded to enter another investigation room where a woman, who is a U.S. citizen, was being examined.

“He grabbed scissors and stabbed the woman several times in the arm, hand and face.

“He also stabbed two security guards who intervened – one in the head and one in the back and shoulders.”

Sogoni was detained before his arrest and held in the ship’s jail. He is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon within maritime and territorial jurisdiction.

If found guilty, he faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250 000 (R4.7 million) for each charge.

The FBI Anchorage field office, FBI Juneau resident agency and the Coast Guard Investigative Service are investigating the case.

USA Today reports Sogoni first boarded the ship, which it’s known as the Norwegian Encore, that day in Seattle. The alleged attack occurred at 2 a.m. on Sunday, the report said.
