On March 15, a violent attack on pensioners occurred at Most Holy Trinity RC Church in Dockhead. A man in his 20s assaulted an elderly brother and sister attending the service. Quick action from church-goers and the public led to the suspect being restrained until police arrived. One witness, a 53-year-old man, described his traumatic experience and credited others for their bravery, expressing the collective heroism of the community despite feeling shaken by the event.
I was terrified. I was absolutely terrified. It happened on Saturday and I'm talking to you and my legs are shaking describing it. It's going to take me weeks to come back down.
Everybody kept coming up and shaking my hands and hugging me and patting me on the back and saying thank you. But the thing is I wasn't the one that stopped him.
