An intoxicated Jewish man who assaulted two Armenian priests near
the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem’s Old City Sunday night
was placed under arrest, police said.
The two clergymen did not require medical treatment, and the assailant
was in police custody.
The attack on the priests, which took place during the Jewish festival
of Purim when it is customary to get drunk, was the third such incident
in the last six months.
