A drunk man entered the church of St Sergius of Radonezh in Sertolovo and demanded money from the congregation to continue the "banquet". The women politely refused, which infuriated him. He then flew into a rage, almost ripping the door to the church off its hinges. Previously he had attacked the abbot with a knife.
He was then temporarily calmed down by one of the attendants before the police were called. This is not the first time the man has done this, as eyewitnesses say the man is a frequent visitor and this is not unusual for him. He is known to have attacked the abbot with a knife last summer, but the abbot escaped unhurt as the attacker was neutralised.
