A man arrested in Juneau stabbed several people on a cruise ship, according to the FBI

The FBI arrested a cruise ship employee in Juneau on Tuesday afternoon, a day after he allegedly stabbed several people with a pair of scissors aboard the Norwegian Encore.

Ntando Sogoni, 35, from South Africa, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

In an interview, FBI public affairs officer Chloe Martin said the agency continues to investigate the case.

“This was an isolated incident and there is no danger to other passengers,” she said.

According to a U.S. Department of Justice press release and an affidavit filed in federal court, cruise ship employees noticed Sogoni attempting to deploy a lifeboat on the ship late Sunday evening. Ship security then took him to the ship’s medical center for examination.

Early Monday morning there, authorities report Sogoni physically assaulted a security guard and a nurse in an exam room. He then went into another room where he grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed a 75-year-old woman who was being examined, along with two other security guards.

Officials say the injuries are not life-threatening.

Sogoni was later arrested and held at the ship’s prison before being arrested upon arrival in Juneau on Tuesday.

According to authorities, location data provided by the crew of the Norwegian Encore shows that the ship was outside the jurisdiction of a U.S. state at the time of the incident.
