A disturbing incident near Jerusalem’s Old City shows a Catholic nun being attacked from behind in broad daylight. Video footage captures a man running up to the nun, pushing her to the ground, and then returning to kick her. The attack occurred Tuesday, and authorities later arrested a 36-year-old suspect on suspicion of carrying out a racially motivated assault. The nun is a researcher at the Dominican-run French Biblical and Archaeological School in Jerusalem and suffered bruises from the assault.
