When the groom charges through the church and punches the priest who refuses to marry him
The fiancé was seen storming down the aisle of a church in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before swinging at the priest in front of horrified worshippers.
A irate groom stormed through a church and punched a Catholic priest who refused to marry him a second time.
The groom-to-be was captured on camera during a crowded mass at the Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Aparecida Church in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
When a man in a white top runs down the aisle and straight towards the clergyman, video footage shows him speaking from the steps to the altar.
The enraged fiancé then punches the priest in front of fellow worshippers at the church in Rio's Cachambi district.
Those nearby can be seen immediately intervening to break up the scuffle as he launches his attack, while others look on horrified and shout out in shock.
According to local reports, the unnamed man attacked the priest because the churchman refused to marry him a second time.
Despite minor injuries, it is understood that the churchman chose not to report his attacker to police.
At the time of reporting in June, the archdiocese had not responded to the incident.
Catholics believe that marriage should last a lifetime and that the only way for a marriage to end is for one of the couple to die.
When a couple divorces, they are not permitted to remarry in the Catholic Church.
According to the Catholic faith, every marriage should be an exclusive relationship between two people, and those who violate it commit adultery
Despite being left with minor injuries, the churchman chose not to report his attacker to the police, it is understood.
The archdiocese had not commented on the incident at the time of reporting in June
