A Shock

The female attacker (52) accosted the Bishop on the Pauluspromenade -- a street directly in front of the Cathedral square.

Then  she struck him with the flat of her hand in the fact.

This cause the gtlasses on his face to fall and break.

Msgr Algermissen was not injured.  He suffered a shock, though.
