Australia: Bishop Attacked During Sermon

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel (Assyrian Church of the East affiliated to Canada) was reportedly stabbed with a pen while preaching at his church 'Christ The Good Shepard' in Wakeley, West Sydney.

The attack was livestreamed (below). The clergyman was taken to hospital. The attacker was tackled by worshippers before police moved in and arrested him. He injured several worshippers.

Bishop Emmanuel rose to prominence during the Covid hysteria by criticising the harsh lockdown measures, which he branded 'mass slavery'. In this video he talks about his visit to Gaza.

Just last Saturday, six shoppers were stabbed to death in a Sydney shopping centre.
