at priest during
Greenpoint mass
BY KEVIN DUGGAN
A man doused the altar

in juice on Jan. 12, interrupting
mass in an act the
Brooklyn Diocese described
as a desecration of the Kings
County house of worship.
Video shows a 33-yearold
man waltz up to the altar
of St. Anthony of Padua
on Manhattan Avenue near
Noble Street at around 9:30
am, before pouring the red

bible, and spraying some of

continue the Mass, consecrating
the bread and wine
into the body and blood of Jesus
Christ,” said Vattothu.
Congregants held the
juice-throwing suspect in
the church for authorities,
who took the suspect to
Woodhull Hospital for evaluation
— but did not arrest
him, cops said.
