A taxi driver decapitated a Jesus statue using his shoe outside a New York City church in a blasphemous caught-on-camera tantrum that is being investigated as a hate crime.
A sacrilegious scoundrel driving an SUV taxi pulled up to the front of the Holy Family Roman Catholic Church in Flushing around 5:30 a.m. Sunday and calmly crossed the street – before removing a shoe and charging toward white marble statues of Mary, Joseph and Jesus, according to police and footage released by the Diocese of Brooklyn.
The taxi driver wailed on the heads of Mary and Joseph with his shoe, then turned his attention to Jesus and hacked at its head until it went spinning to the ground, the footage shows.
