Bareback man with a sword disrupts funeral service

Bridgetown.

A funeral service at the St Patrick's Anglican Church was disrupted yesterday  evening when a  bareback man with a sword ran into the church.

Eye-witness Pauline Compton told journalists, the man was wearing a pants below his bottom and he had a knife longer than her arm.

“People just got up and started to run towards the front of the church. He ran out and then he ran back in again through another door and a man was outside pelting rocks at him.

“I go to funerals almost every day, and I have never seen nothing like that,” Compton cried, adding that the man also slashed the tyres of three vehicles in the car park.

Compton said the priest stopped the service after the man left.042613_church_4-450x350
