An Australian bishop was stabbed multiple times as he was delivering his sermon Monday night, in an attack that came just days after six people were stabbed to death at a nearby mall.
Footage posted online Monday shows Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel speaking at Wakeley’s Christ The Good Shepherd Church when an unidentified man in a black hoodie confronts him.
The bishop appears to try to talk to the man, who then stabs the bishop’s face and neck.
Emmanuel then fell to the ground as congregants rushed to his aid.
He was promptly rushed to a local hospital, News.com.au reported.
His condition is currently unknown.
