An 80-year-old priest went Mike Tyson on another priest in Australia during a fight over a parking space. What would God say? Father Thomas Henry Byrne allegedly started the fight with 81-year-old Father Thomas Joseph Cameron Smith because Smith refused to give up his parking spot. Byrne punched him in the face, leading to a tussle, which ended when Byrne told Smith to pick something up off of the ground.

That something happened to be Smith's ear. He wrapped it in a towel and drove to a local hospital, where he was taken to surgery. Father Byrne was arrested for grievous bodily harm, and was ordered to stay 30 feet away for Smith.
