Here is something that Jesus would not do … A man attacked a priest in the middle of a prayer who goes out of a church bench to tackle the reverend … and everything on video.
The unholy incident went on Tuesday during a service in the cathedral of our dear wife of Lourdes in Spokane, Wa … and film material shows the moment when a priest was tackled on the ground.
You have to see the video … Rev. David Gaines Knish with other priests in prayer when a man rises from his church and runs towards the altar … a few steps down and clumsy cades to the ground.
There are chaos when other priests pull the attacker away … And if the dust settles, police officers arrest the man from whom they believe he is responsible for the attack.
According to new legal documents received by TMZ, the police say that the attacker here is a 40-year-old homeless name Joshua Sommer … and he was charged with a fourth degree for assault.
Unclear what triggered the attack … but Rev. Darrin Connall Told KHQ in Spokane The man sat in his pew for about 45 minutes before going on the offensive.
Here too Mini Miracle … Connall says that Father Gaines was not seriously injured.
