Pepper spray attack during mass in Prato
Unknown people entered the church of Santa Maria al Soccorso during Sunday mass and sprayed a pungent substance with pepper spray. The parish priest had to interrupt the service and finish celebrating mass outside. The perpetrators have fled.
A strong smell that irritates the eyes and throat permeated the premises. The faithful were forced to leave the church quickly. The unpleasant episode required the intervention of firemen and the police.
A similar incident happened recently in a supermarket in via Anna Kuliscioff in Maliseti.
