As per the Shade Room, the incident took place in Brooklyn, where Lamor Whitehead oversees the service at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie. TMZ reported that according to Whitehead, the woman he is accused of assaulting was a disruptive member of the congregation. The incident was recorded on video and has since gone viral.

He said: “I was almost done with my preaching and these two young ladies came in and sat in the back." Whitehead claimed that it was a normal service, but things took a turn after the women started being disruptive. He said that they quickly became aggressive, swearing at him and apparently approaching his wife and child.

She came back storming toward my wife and my 10-month-old baby."

He described this as the key reason behind his actions. He said: "She went toward my wife and that’s when I grabbed her. I grabbed her and took her out of my church.
