Theresa Whitfield needed 2,000 stitches after being attacked by parishioner. On July 22, Trinity Baptist Church in Hackensack, NJ, was the scene of a brutal assault on the pastor's wife. According to the NY Daily News, Theresa Whitfield, 38, the wife of Rev. Jonathan Whitfield, needed 2,000 stitches after being slashed and stabbed with a box cutter in the basement bathroom of the church. According to the authorities, during the 11 a.m. service, parishioner Yolanda Cooper, 40, grabbed Whitfield's hair, pulled her to the ground and began slashing her face, neck, chest and thigh with the box cutter. Whitfield was with her baby daughter in the bathroom at the time of the attack. Cooper has been charged with attempted murder. She's being held on $1.1 million bail. Whitfield's white linen dress was covered in blood. Worshipers said they could hear screaming coming from the basement as the gospel music played. They used cell phones to call police and one parishioner followed Cooper down the street to point her out to police. Whitfield underwent emergency surgery at Hackensack Medical Center. Police do not have a motive for the attack.
