In addition, the suspect hurled a holy book at the worker's leg, causing her harm and damage to the book, while constantly threatening that he would kill her. The suspect was caught by those present and held until the arrival of police who arrested him for questioning. He was charged with serious offenses of assault, attempted theft, threats, insult to religion and more.
