Woman Pulls Out Knife in Movie Theater, Tells Guard 'I Will Cut You': Cops

A previous order of protection prohibits the White Plains resident from having weapons, cops said.

A 30-year-old White Plains woman brandished a knife inside the Cinema de Luxe movie theaters at 15 City Place last Tuesday, and threatened a security guard, White Plains cops said.

The woman pulled out the straight-edge blade at about 6 p.m., authorities said. And when a security guard tried to calm the angry woman, she pointed her weapon at him and said, "I will cut you," according to reports.

Security contacted cops and asked the woman to be barred from the cinema, but did not want to press charges.
