The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Edward Koubek, has been charged with second-degree felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The victim has been identified as Jairo Sandoval-Pliego, a pastor at San Jose Catholic Church in Austin.
The incident happened at around 10:30 p.m. on June 27 at Bob's Steak and Chop House located at 301 Lavaca Street.
Sandoval-Pliego told police that Koubek used to go to church to pray but that he had not seen Koubek for several months. He said he and Koubek had a polite conversation and that Koubek attacked him unprovoked.
Koubek told police he would go to confession occasionally and that he believed Sandoval-Pliego "would snicker" after he gave confession.
When he saw Sandoval-Pliego at dinner, Koubek said it upset him as "he is still holding a grudge" against Sandoval-Pliego.
When asked what his intention was, police say Koubek said, "in the moment, to kill him."
