The New York City bishop who was robbed of around $1 million in jewelry during a livestreamed service in July was removed from his church by police Sunday after video appeared to show him grabbing a woman and pushing her.
Bishop Lamor Whitehead, 44, was preaching at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries church in Brooklyn’s Canarsie neighborhood when someone in the congregation started yelling inaudibly off-camera. He paused the service to respond.
"You wanna come preach?" he's heard saying toward the end of the livestreamed service. "Come on up here. I'm gonna make you famous."
As a woman approaches him, video appears to show the bishop grabbing her hair by the back of her neck and pushing her off-camera.
"Grab her out," Whitehead is heard saying out of view of the camera.
