BREAKING a Catholic Church and Shrine Attacked in New York City - Police Arrest a Suspect - VIDEO

Another vandalism at a Catholic church in New York City.
On July 15, Walter Chisolm, age 42, allegedly broke into Our Lady of Rosary Catholic Church through a window and entered its shrine to Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, where he damaged a large crucifix, according to an NYPD spokesperson.

Chisolm, was wearing a purple priestly vestment robe and no pants, and was arrested for vandalizing the Manhattan shrine of the first American Catholic saint.
“This is my house,” the man was reportedly heard saying to staff as he chased them out of the shrine. He was then found walking back and forth outside on the church’s steps, in the robe, and holding a bottle of wine and a statue of the Virgin Mary, NYPD said.

He also attacked a responding officer, striking him in the face, resulting in minor injuries, according to the NYPD.

Chisolm was charged with assault on a police officer, burglary, criminal mischief, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration, police said. It was not immediately clear if the suspect was taken to jail or for a mental-health check, NYPD spokesperson said.

This attack follows two other incidents within the Diocese of Brooklyn last weekend.

Jonathan Bulik, 37, was arrested for spray painting a statue of Mary at Resurrection Parish in Gerritsen Beach.

Another arrest was made on July 8, at St. Joseph Church in Astoria, when a 21-year-old man returned to the church after terrorizing parishioners last month.

The man had entered the church sacristy on June 6 and began hitting himself in the head with a monstrance used for the Blessed Sacrament.
