2 policemen land in hospital after arresting elderly priest for groping women on a train

Two policemen ended up in the hospital after a priest attacked them while resisting arrest for groping women on a train.
Rev. Peter Slocombe, 72, fought two police men, he attacked, punched one in the face and kicked the other, he left the other with a broken nose the other with bruises which landed both uniform men in the hospital.
he protested his innocence, shouting :

 " I’m a man of the cloth."

However the the priest was arrested. The UK priest, was bundled into a squad car at Rome’s main station.
Eye witnesses called the police who came for the priest arrest and the women insisted that he had touched them on the bottom and chest. When police arrived, the priest ran off but he was chased and arrested for interrogation.
Father Slocombe, who was on vacation at that time of the incident, is parish priest at St Joseph Church in Tewkesbury, Gloucs, and Catholic chaplain at the University of Gloucester. Parishioners had planned a party for him next month to celebrate his 50 years as a clergyman.

A police spokesman said:

This guy was crazy. He was punching and kicking out at the officers. He kept saying he was man of the cloth and was innocent but we have witnesses who say he was touching two women on the train and the victims identified him.
He got sentenced to house arrest for two years and eight months at a Rome court for sexual assault and resisting arrest.
