CCTV captures moment a man attacks a nun in Jerusalem

 

Israeli police released a video on Thursday showing an attack on a French Catholic nun in Jerusalem. The footage shows the man running up behind the nun and pushing her to the ground. After briefly walking away, the attacker, who appears to be Jewish, returns to kick the nun as she lies on the ground and only stops when a passerby intervenes. Police said they had arrested a 36-year-old man. The date when the video was recorded was verified by an official statement from the Israeli foreign ministry, which said the attack occurred on 28 April
