After being assaulted and robbed while conducting mass at the Brickdam Cathedral, Roman Catholic Bishop Francis Alleyne has said he suspects his assailant was under the influence of something and not fully in control of his actions at the time.
“I didn’t judge him as a person who was aggressively attacking the church,” Bishop Alleyne told Stabroek News, following the recent incident.
Bishop Alleyne added that he has been attacked before and noted that what occurred was not an attack, while noting that he was not injured or harmed during the robbery as the blow he received to his head did not cause harm.
