&#8220;The cop was on his hands and knees bleeding from his neck,&#8221; Ken Brown told the newspaper. &#8220;I said they need to get him a towel.&#8221;<br />
Brown said he saw a man detained by police and a knife on the ground at the Flint airport.

<p>Mayor Karen Weaver said &#8220;the situation is under control&#8221; but officials sought to take &#8220;extra precautions.&#8221; The municipal building remains open.<br />
&#8220;My thoughts and prayers are with all of our law enforcement officers who work to service and protect us each and every day,&#8221; the mayor said in a statement, <a href="http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/nbc-news-feds-looking-into-flint-airport-stabbing-as-possible-act-of-terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Click on Detroit</a>.<br />
The FBI in a statement acknowledged they are aware of reports that the attacker made statements immediately prior to or while attacking the officer, but said it is too early to determine the nature of the alleged statements or whether or not it was an act of terrorism.<br />
Calling the stabbing an isolated incident, the statement emphasized that: &#8220;Based on information that we have at this time, we believe this to be an isolated incident,&#8221; the FBI said in a statement.<br />
The FBI is leading the investigation, Michigan State Police said. The Flint City Hall began operating under heightened security in an abundance of caution after the incident.</p>
