But the bomb burned without setting off the explosives, so the jihadi pulled an axe from his bag and slashed the priest's arm at St Yoseph Church in Medan, the capital of North Sumatra in Indonesia.
The congregation then stepped in and managed to wrestle the axe from his grasp, detaining him until the police arrived.
He was later pictured at the police station with an officer holding his bloody head off the ground, where he was lying handcuffed.
The priest suffered slight injuries and has been taken to hospital near where it happened.
A picture of the attacker's ID card circulating online said he was Muslim.
