The alleged attacker then went to another church and stabbed a verger to death.

The suspect was quickly disarmed and arrested.

According to the Interior Ministry, “just after 19:00 local time (18:00 GMT) this evening, a man entered the church of San Isidro in Algeciras, where, armed with a machete, he attacked the priest, seriously injuring him.”

“He then entered the church of Nuestra Senora de La Palma and attacked the verger after causing damage.”

According to the statement, the alleged victim managed to get outside the church but was attacked again and killed.

“Moments later, (the assailant) was disarmed and arrested, and is currently in police custody,” according to the ministry.
