A 35-year-old man was stabbed in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine, after greeting people in an establishment with the traditional Easter phrase 'Christ is Risen!' on Easter Sunday. Police report that a 19-year-old man of a different faith reacted aggressively, leading to a verbal altercation that escalated when the younger man and an accomplice knocked the victim down and inflicted two knife wounds to his abdomen and neck. The specific religion of the attackers has not been officially confirmed, though the source speculates they may be Wahhabis.
