A suspect has been taken into FBI custody after a police officer was stabbed Wednesday morning at Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan.
Lt. Jeff Neville of the Michigan State Police is in stable condition after undergoing surgery, an MSP spokeswoman told HuffPost. The on-duty officer was rushed to a local hospital after being stabbed in the neck and back, according to CNN.
The FBI said it believes the incident was isolated and that there is no threat to the Flint community.
The agency is leading the investigation and said it’s too early to determine the suspect’s motive. The suspect, whose identity has not been released, is undergoing questioning, according to a statement issued by the agency.
“We are aware of reports that the attacker made statements immediately prior to or while attacking the officer, but it is too early to determine the nature of these alleged statements or whether or not this was an act of terrorism,” according to the FBI statement.
NBC News reported that the suspect is from Quebec, Canada.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) requested community members keep the attacked officer in their thoughts and prayers.
