A DISGRUNTLED employee has allegedly stabbed his company boss in a possible copycat attack in the wake of the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Employee Nathan Mahoney, 32, has been charged with stabbing the company president at the firm’s office in Muskegon, on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan.
Denslow was rushed to hospital in a critical condition, according to police.
He was knifed in the side before the suspect fled the scene in his vehicle, according to investigators.
Denslow is expected to survive.
No motive has yet been determined, although investigators are not ruling out the possibility it was a “copycat” of December 4’s murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a New York hotel.
“I think that comes to everyone’s mind in this time,” Deputy Police Chief Greg Poulson told News 8.
“We’re going through all his social accounts, all his electronic media and trying to determine a motive for this act.”
On Thursday, suspected killer Luigi Mangione, 26, arrived in New York where he faces federal murder charges over the killing.
