Aussie passenger’s shocking Bangkok to Moscow attack with a twist (video)

[webfact]

 

A man described as ‘Australian’ found himself in a harrowing situation when he allegedly attacked a fellow passenger on a flight from Bangkok to Moscow. Alexey Fursov reportedly stabbed the passenger with a fork, causing injuries to the victim’s chest, shoulder, and back during what has been described as a frenzied attack.

 

Dramatic footage from the flight shows the 35 year old Fursov being subdued and detained by authorities shortly after the incident in which he stabbed a fellow passenger with a fork.

 

In the video, Fursov can be heard pleading for his restraints to be removed, claiming he was confused due to having been “away for four years.” Flight attendants and passengers directed him to move to the back of the plane as Fursov moaned in discomfort.

He was eventually seated at the rear of the aircraft, where he attempted to justify his actions by explaining that he believed the alleged victim “was gonna bite [him].”

Attacking Russian in a plane full of Russians, what did you expect? Of course they were going to beat the living hell out of him. They won't just sit down quietly, and wait for authorities to deal with it...

My point rather is that when, as shown in the video, he was removed from the aircraft, his facial injuries were not evident. However, in the subsequent mugshot, taken once the "authorities were dealing with it" he appears to have received a beating.

 

The man was clearly mentally ill. Beating the demons out of him?

 

As for how long they keep him, it rather depends on course on what Putin and his lieutenants think they can screw out of Australia to allow his release and treatment.

"claiming he was confused due to having been “away for four years.”

Well, 4 years immersed Thailand will get one prolific in formulating excuses to avoid responsibility..

[Grumpy one]

Maybe he was confused about his upcoming enlistment in the Russian military.

Being away for 4 years might dull the mind a bit

He should have stayed in Oz chasing kangaroo's

A bit off topic but I had a Russian Grab driver the other week.

 

After a bit of a chat I found out his name was Pikup Andropov.
