A Texas man was charged with a hate crime and a slew of other offenses after allegedly vandalizing a Mother Mary statue and defecating on a sign at a Queens church, police and sources said. (Read More Here).
The blasphemous crime began when Jia Wang allegedly drove his car onto the front lawn of Mary’s Nativity-St. Ann Church in Flushing Monday afternoon and barreled over a sign, law enforcement sources said.
“Another time, he tried to throw a water bottle at me, but I closed the door in his face,” Diaz told the outlet. “He’s screaming and throwing middle fingers at me — yelling, ‘F-you! F-you!’”
Wang then threw the contents of his car across the lawn, further trashing it, Diaz said.
Police took Wang to a nearby hospital for a medical evaluation.
“I don’t think he was all there, obviously,” Diaz said. “But regardless of that, even if you had some type of psychotic break, you still came to the church. You destroyed the statue … He knew what he was doing.”
Mary’s Nativity-St. Ann Church could not be reached for comment.
