Overview

• An HHS official supporting Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was followed into a UN bathroom, filmed, verbally abused and struck, and was treated on scene by EMS, according to the NYPD.
• Police arrested a suspect and Newsweek reports the NYPD identified her as 62-year-old Patricia Schuh, with multiple outlets saying she was released and is due in court on November 13.
• The White House blamed security failures at UN Headquarters and said the U.S. Secret Service will investigate how the individual gained entry to the high‑security event.
• A spokesperson for the UN Secretary‑General said the person was an invited guest with proper authorization who was screened at entry and was handed over to the NYPD after the incident.
• The U.S. mission to the UN condemned the attack and urged a review of UN security operations, as the episode followed Trump’s claims of “triple sabotage” during his UN visit earlier in the week.
