Russian Man Arrested for Wandering Around with a Sword at Famous Thai Boxing Area in Phuket

[webfact]

 

Chalong – A 23-year-old Russian man was arrested after he was found wandering around with a sword at a famous Thai boxing complex in Chalong, Phuket.

The Chalong Police told the Phuket Express that they were notified of the incident at 4:30 P.M. on Monday (December 18th) at Soi Ta-iad. They arrived at the scene to find the foreign man who was holding a sword and walking along the road.

 

It took a short time for the police to detain and arrest the foreign man. No one was injured and nothing was damaged which was good as the area was full of foreign tourists and local residents at the time of the incident.

 

The foreign man was identified by the Chalong Police as a 23-year-old Russian man (The Phuket Express is withholding his name due to possible mental illness for his privacy). The Chalong Police told the Phuket Express that the suspect has a mental health problem and he was unable to control himself at that time.

Unless this goes around the world on social media... then not so good.

Plenty of time now for bad behavior play with the 90 day freebee entry stamp for mighty Russian Federation Passports......

Oh thank goodness. Just a Russian with mental issues. I was concerned at first that Putin might be extending his illegal invasion efforts across the ocean. Send him home and put him on the front line.

Time to stop giving the Russians privileges of a 3 month visa, this is just escalating, but Thailand want their money so they get handled with kid gloves.

How to avoid mentally ill or unstable potential killers to enter Thailand ?

Should they ask for a certificate confirming good mental health before boarding the plane ...?  55 , not many would come anymore .

[soalbundy]

His visa extension is under consideration.

[PETERTHEEATER]

Leave the guy alone, he's got only one flip-flop.

Arrest those shirtless farangs on motorcycles without safety helmets.

Come on Phuket.  Safety First! 😀

[Kinok Farang]

They look like us but aren't.

[PeachCH]

Let him, no problem, a real Samurai. 

[Chongalulu]

And if I saw him in the street I'd say ” Oi,Sergei NO! It's not ok to wander in the road with your ”sword” out . Sergei,No!"

After some booze and yaba, guess he forgot he not wandering in Ukraine any more. There a sword might not be enough though to keep him alive

Last week another crazy russki went on a stabbing spree at Nana Plaza. He ended up being disarmed and arrested out in front of Hooters on Soi 4.

Try to explain to this goomba that this is not the Cossack empire in the old days, where they went around slaughtering people for their fur coats. You may have that heritage but that doesn't entitle you to behave in that fashion here, and in this day and age.
