Stabbing at Planet Fitness

A 28-year-old Philadelphia man, Davier Massey, is facing attempted murder charges after stabbing a Planet Fitness employee multiple times. The attack happened at a gym in Cheltenham Township, where Massey had been banned.

Police say the stabbing occurred after an altercation between Massey and the employee. The victim, who hasn’t been named, was rushed to a trauma center with life-threatening injuries. It’s a miracle he’s still alive.

What Happened

On Thursday, around 12:30 p.m., officers responded to a stabbing at the Planet Fitness. They found the employee with multiple stab wounds. Massey was arrested shortly after, just a short distance from the scene.

Gym-goers are shocked by the attack. One member told FOX29 Philadelphia, ‘I feel like I’m in a dream right now.’ Another said, ‘It’s a little shocking for something to happen right here.’ Yeah, no kidding.

Massey is now facing a slew of charges, including attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault, and terroristic threats. Bail was denied, and he’s being held at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.

Police haven’t released a motive for the attack or details about what sparked the confrontation. The investigation is ongoing, but it’s clear Massey won’t be winning any awards for ‘Gym Member of the Year’ anytime soon.
