Irishman Assaults Marathon Leader

ATHENS (Reuters) - A former Irish priest pushed Brazil's Vanderlei de Lima off the road when he was leading the Olympic marathon on Sunday.

The man was arrested and taken to a police station. A government spokesman said he was a former Irish priest, Cornelius Horan, who interrupted the British Formula One Grand Prix last year by running on to the Silverstone track.
 
"The man says he is Irish, he is also drunk. He had been to a tavern earlier," a police source told Reuters.

"The man says he is Irish, he is also drunk. He had been to a taverna earlier," a police source told Reuters.

On Sunday Horan was wearing a kilt and beret and on a white shirt he had pinned the words "The Grand Prix Priest. Israel Fulfillment of Prophecy Says The Bible. The Second Coming is Near." He had a Star of David attached to his kilt.

After being pushed into the crowd, a grimacing De Lima got away from the spectator and rejoined the race, holding his leg, with around 15 minutes to run....

...Police officials said Horan had arrived early on Sunday on a British Airways flight.

He told police that he grabbed De Lima to prepare for the second coming of Christ. "He seems to be suffering from psychological problems," a police official told Reuters.


The Athens Police seem to have a firm grip on the obvious.

That was amazing, watching the drivers and dodging him at the last second.

He probably shouldn't try that at a NASCAR track though.

NO, he definitely should try that. I suggest the next Bristol race.

Perhaps if he tried it at the next semi tractor race it would work out well.........

That guy needs to be put out of his misery.  He was trying to kamikaze into the cars at Silverstone.  I've seen a film of what happens when an F1 car hits a human at speed - the pedestrian was dismembered and the driver was mostly decapitated.

He should be jailed for the next couple of years for assaulting a person.
The athlete got **** scared, because he thought this nutcase was armed.
