Man attacks “Jesus” character in crucifixion re-enactment in Australia (photos)

The incident occurred in the Gold Coast

Newsroom April 2 08:37

As Jesus walks towards his Crucifixion, the heavy cross weighing down his back, the last thing he probably expected was a man wearing beige cargo shorts running up and shoving him to the ground.
But this is the scene that played out as the Sacred Heart Church on the Gold Coast performed their annual reenactment of Jesus’s suffering walk on Good Friday.
