A 53-year-old woman was punched in the back of the head by a man outside a Flushing church last week.

Police said that incident took place after the suspect was asked to leave Saint Michael’s Church at 136-76 41st Ave. on Monday Oct. 28 after he caused a disturbance.

The suspect remained outside the church as the 53-year-old woman exited at around noon. He then approached her and punched her in the back of the head as she went back inside, police said.
