Migrant defaces Virgin Mary statue in Swiss church: Removes clothes and crown

The video has gone viral in the last hours on Twitter - The young migrant removes the clothes and the crown from the statue... and walks away undisturbed

The 17-year-old is then seen removing the crown from the same statue in the Einsiedeln monastery church, putting it on his head and walking away without being disturbed.
