Local media reported that during the early hours of Jan. 14, Carlos Alonso, 32, allegedly went to the Christ the King Parish in downtown Monterrey to rob the church.

In the darkness, Alonso reportedly jumped over the fence in front of the church entrance, broke a glass door, and entered the church.

While trying to flee with a statue of St. Michael the Archangel, the alleged thief tripped and fell on the angel’s sword, seriously injuring his neck.

[And then good Samaritans passing by saved his life by calling the police. Why, it’s almost as if the angels were looking after the thief despite his actions. This episode gives us plenty to learn, no? — Ed]
