An airport police officer at the Bishop Airport in Flint was stabbed Wednesday morning and a suspect is in custody.
The FBI is investigating the incident as an act of terrorism, reports WJRT-TV in Flint. The officer has been hospitalized.
But the FBI issued a statement saying:
"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.
"Based on the information that we have at this time, we believe this to be an isolated incident. We currently have no specific, credible information that there is a threat to the Flint community."
NBC News reported that the Canadian born suspect shouted "Allahu Akbar" before stabbing the officer.
The airport was evacuated and remained closed as of noon.
Sources tell WJRT's Jessica Dupnack that Lt. Jeff Neville, who retired from the Genesee County Sheriff's Office, was stabbed in the neck and is listed in stable condition. Multiple sources say Neville was at his post at the top of the escalators at Bishop when he was attacked from behind with a larger knife, similar to a Bowie knife.
He is currently second in command with airport police at Bishop.
