He had enough of the holy spirits.

A Bronx man claims he was seriously injured when a drunken man assaulted him at a Manhattan church that doubles as a catering hall, according to court papers.

Ismail Oukpedjo says Pasha Events at Riverside Church in Morningside Heights overserved an already inebriated Yonkers man — then let him leave the house of worship with booze.

Oukpedjo, a parking attendant, alleges that the drunkard then attacked him, according to a Bronx Supreme Court lawsuit filed last month. Oukpedjo is seeking unspecified damages.

Riverside Church and Pasha Events did not respond to Post requests for comment.
