A recent incident in Mexico has brought attention to the dangers of attempting to steal from a church, as a man was impaled by an angel statue while trying to steal it. The incident occurred in the early hours of January 18th, when a man was caught on surveillance cameras attempting to steal a statue of an angel from a church in Mexico City.
According to reports, the man appeared to be heavily intoxicated and stumbled while attempting to remove the statue from its base. As he fell, the sword held by the angel statue impaled him in the neck.
The man was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he underwent surgery and is currently in stable condition. The police were able to track down the man through the surveillance footage, and he has been charged with theft and damage to a religious site.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting places of worship and the dangers of attempting to steal from them. Not only is it illegal, but it can also be dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
It’s also important to note that the incident highlights the dangers of drinking and attempting to commit a crime; the man’s judgment was impaired, which led to the tragic outcome. The police have arrested the man, and he will be charged with theft and damage to a religious site. The church reported that the statue is damaged and will have to be repaired.
