Two security officers were stabbed Monday morning at the Manhattan criminal courthouse while screening people at the metal detectors, according to a state courts spokesperson.

One court officer was slashed in the neck and another was slashed in the face, law enforcement sources told ABC News. Both officers were in stable condition when they were taken to a local hospital.

"Several Court Officers immediately rushed to stop the assailant, subduing him near a bank of magnetometers, disarming him, and taking him into custody," state courts spokesperson Al Baker said in a statement. He described the incident as an apparent "targeted attack." Surveillance video caught the stabbing.

Baker also said that an investigation is ongoing.
