On October 30th the protests and acts of vandalism against the Church continue in Poland. In one incident protesters even acted violently. Two young girls entered the Church "Christ the Savior" in Gdańsk during Communion and disturbed it and were escorted away by a man. This caused a violent reaction and the young women tried to run back in to the church, being forced to stay outside, one of them hit a man on the head with her phone and shouted profanities. According to the witnesses, the other woman tried to kick a man and threatened him with a knife.

“All the footage was handed over to the Police. Let us pray for repentance and conversion for those women and all those who are committing aggression and profanation at this time ... If any of the parishioners knew these women, please give us a private message. Unfortunately, they left the scene before the arrival of the Police." Wrote the parish at their Facebook page.
