Auckland's St Matthew in the City church has given up on its controversial Mary and Joseph billboard, after it was attacked for the third time.
An elderly woman has slashed the poster with a knife, just hours after it was repaired following a paint bomb , and an overnight disappearance .
Archdeacon Glynn Cardy says he is worried someone is going to end up injured if there are any further attacks.
The billboard featuring Mary and Joseph in bed after having sex, went up on Thursday morning.
Cardy says he is disappointed, but says the purpose of the billboard was to get people talking.
