After a concert in a church on 27 September 2001, an intoxicated twenty-year-old man threatened the members of an American gospel choir with a bayonet and called them 'nigger pigs'. The sexton was also threatened after he attempted to intervene. A police spokeswoman confirmed that during questioning the suspect had openly acknowledged having extreme right-wing leanings. The perpetrator was found guilty of fourteen different offences and sentenced in March 2002 to three years and two months youth custody with compulsory addiction treatment (another previous verdict was also taken into account in sentencing).
