The victim was Father Marcelo Rossi, a popular priest in Brazil.

The woman could be seen jumping to a lower part of the stage towards Rossi as the crowd shrieked in horror. Organizers rushed to detain her as church leaders froze.

Newsweek reports:

The incident occurred shortly before 3 p.m. after a woman was able to rush past security and approach Father Marcelo Rossi during a ceremony at the headquarters of Canção Nova, which is a Brazilian Catholic community known for broadcasting religious material online.

Rossi, a preaching powerhouse who has reportedly sold millions of musical records in Brazil and was once dubbed a “pop-star priest” by the Associated Press, was seen in video footage of the unexpected mass invasion toppling from the stage as onlookers watched on in shock.

The Catholic priest was giving an address during the closing ceremony of a youth camp which had an estimated 50,000 attendees. He was not seriously injured and officials noted he soon returned to the stage to complete his sermon, which was being streamed to the internet.

Organizers said in a series of tweets that the assailant, who was not identified, is 32 years old and from Rio de Janeiro.

“Police said the woman is 32 years old and was part of a group that came from Rio de Janeiro for the event. The companions informed the PM that she suffers from mental disorders,” Cooperadores de Verdade wrote, via Twitter translate.

Rossi reportedly did not want to press charges.

“It hurt, but pay close attention. I was just going to talk about pain but I did not imagine it was going to be like this,” Rossi said after returning to the stage.
