: Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex
A construction worker who may be in the country illegally has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly launched a brutal unprovoked attack on a college student in Louisiana over the weekend, according to reports.
The disturbing incident unfolded on Friday in Thibodaux, a city in Lafourche Parish that is home to Nicholls State University.
The female victim was sitting at a picnic table outside St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church where she was preparing for a church retreat when she was ambushed by a man wielding a hammer, WBRZ reports.
The suspect, who was reportedly working on crew repairing the roof of the church, bashed the woman multiple times with the tool before being chased off by a priest and church staff.
Campus police apprehended the suspect approximately 20 minutes later.
