The early Saturday morning wrecking spree was caught on video outside Our Lady of Mercy in Forest Hills, where the hammer-wielding suspect hopped a short barrier and began shaking the decades-old statues until they became loose. The video shows the woman then throwing the figures — one of the Blessed Mother and another of St. Therese the Little Flower — onto the sidewalk and then onto Kessel Street. The enraged vandal is also seen whacking the statues with her hammer, stomping on them and spitting at the monuments. She fled the scene after the 3 a.m. incident. #news #Woman #video #Queens #church
