MOSCOW: An attacker injured two people in a Moscow Orthodox church with a knife on Sunday before being arrested, police said, adding they were not treating the incident as terrorism. The man came running into the altar area of the church in central Moscow and stabbed two assistants to the priest, the parish priest Kirill Sladkov said. “He looked like an ordinary parishioner and didn´t shout anything during the attack,” Sladkov said, according to the website of the Moscow Patriarchate.
