Shrink indicted in sledge attack

A Manhattan psychiatrist has been indicted in the 2012 attempted sledgehammer murder of her child’s father, The Post has learned.

The indictment alleges that Dr. Pamela Buchbinder (inset, after her arrest in 2012) enlisted her bipolar cousin to bludgeon and stab Dr. Michael Weiss in the victim’s West 57th Street home office, according to sources.

The parents had been arguing over visitation for their then-6-year-old son, and three days before Weiss was attacked, Buchbinder had successfully demanded he name her beneficiary of his $1.5 million life insurance policy.

Weiss survived the brutal attack and has won full custody of the boy.

Buchbinder is expected to be arraigned Friday in Manhattan Supreme Court on charges of attempted murder, burglary and assault. She was overheard by a reporter saying, “I’m innocent” while being processed by police Thursday night.

It took until last year for Buchbinder’s cousin, Jacob Nolan, 25, of Ronkonkoma, LI, to be convicted and sentenced.

Weiss was Nolan’s biggest advocate as the young man was sentenced in July 2016 to 9 ½ years in prison for attempted murder, as- sault and burglary.

“I have no personal desire to punish Jake,” Weiss said at the time. “I understand that a long prison sentence will not undo what has happened or restore the sense of security that has been forever taken from me.”

Weiss told a Manhattan judge that Buchbinder was the real culprit, manipulating the mentally vulnerable young man into committing the crime.

In 2015, Weiss’ lawyer told a Manhattan Family Court judge that Buchbinder drew the map Nolan used to find Weiss’ address.

At the same Family Court proceeding, Weiss’ side showed the judge photos of Buchbinder and Nolan buying a sledgehammer at the Chelsea Home Depot the night before the attack.
