The incident happened during Mass, when parishioners were receiving communion.
The unidentified woman told St Cloud police the scuffle began when she attempted to receive communion but was denied.
“He wouldn’t give me the cookie. I don’t know if it was the way I was dressed or if I like it,” the woman says on the police-worn bodycam video.
