A man burst into a Roman Catholic church in Brooklyn, where he damaged a handful of religious items before being taken into custody, officials said Saturday.
Keeonn Wilson, 33, is facing multiple counts of criminal mischief for his bizarre assault on St. Matthew Roman Catholic Church on Eastern Parkway near Utica Ave. in Crown Heights, cops said.
Wilson entered the church at around 11:20 a.m. Friday. Once inside, he damaged several religious items, including an incense holder and two candle holders, cops said.
Church staffers called police, who found Wilson at the scene and took him into custody without incident.
Wilson caused about $7,500 worth of damage before he was taken out of the church, police said. His arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court was pending Saturday.
