He asked him if he was a priest before trying to bottle him .

True, there could be a Spanish Civil War-style anti-clericalism scenario going on here. Or an abuse survivor. Who knows.

 

[moathibby]

The guy could be Psychotic. You've got to admit it's quite an unusual scenario.

Dreadful thing to happen.
St Mary's is so open door and welcoming and right in the heart of the city...it's so easy for someone to just come wandering in.
Hopefully they get who done it.

 

[Braehead Cabbage]

Given its location you'd assume there's plenty cctv in the area

 

[Smurf]

Plenty of do gooders will defend and justify this brutal attack. Too much tolerance and excuses these days of these utter scumbags.

'Punishment' has fallen out of favour.
Reform has now taken 99% with punishment 1%

(Not actual accurate figures, but you know what I mean.)

Hope the priest recovers whether you are religious or not if true its a terrible thing to happen especially when praying.
Really are some messed up people out there.

SPS values, respect/ integrity / openness / courage/ humility.

Feck praying if that's what happens.

 

[hibbybilly]

Just realised it’s St Mary’s, I was thinking it was St Pats for some reason. I worked inside and outside the cathedral a few years ago. There was a few homeless guys hanging about there. Seen the police a few times following altercations. It’s STF’s place of worship.

Guy was lifted after another assault in Princess Street apparently.

 

[Greenmachine]

Good to see the assailant has been arrested and charged.

Apparently he said to the police that if he had assaulted Father Jamie with a bottle of Domestos, would he be charged with a Bleach of the Priest ?
