A man has been arrested after two people were assaulted during a high-profile church service at York Minster.

The Archbishop of York was due to give the key sermon at the service, which forms part of the General Synod meeting, when the attack took place.

A spokesman for the Church of England said a man entered the minster as the service was starting and assaulted two people when he was asked to stop.

One of the Archbishop of York’s staff and a steward suffered minor injuries.

The service was attended by senior members of the Church of England including the Archbishop of Canterbury.
