A violent drunk who attacked a priest with a glass bottle while he was kneeling for morning prayers has been jailed.
Jason Irvine, 32, repeatedly struck Father Jamie McMorrin on the body with the makeshift vile attack before chasing the cleric through St Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh city centre last year.
The putting her in a headlock was stopped when the brave priest grabbed a wooden chair and fought his assailant off who was forced to drop the bottle and flee the church.
