A church in Spokane, Washington has hired extra security after a man was seen attacking a priest during Mass earlier this week.

A prayer service was being held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes in Spokane, Wash., when a man rushed from the pews and attacked a priest. KHQ's John Webb reports.

This is the shocking moment a Washington priest was attacked by a “disturbed” man during a prayer service on Tuesday. The suspect has been identified as Joshua James Sommers. Worshippers at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes were in the middle of mass when Sommers jumped out of his pew and charged toward the altar.
