Police arrested a Russian man who went on a violent rampage at a hotel in the Choeng Thale area of Phuket, physically assaulting other hotel guests and Thai police officers.

 

Officers from Choeng Thale Police Station were called to the hotel to contain the situation after the Russian man, identified only as Sharapov, attacked other guests with a knife. Fortunately, the victim reportedly suffered only minor injuries.

 

When police arrived at the scene, they attempted to persuade Sharapov to surrender, but he refused. Sharapov continued to cause chaos, brandishing the knife at anyone who approached him. Police officers were attacked but their conditions were not revealed.

 

Police were ultimately forced to use physical measures to subdue the suspect. A photograph shared by the Phuket Times shows that Sharapov sustained injuries, including wounds to his mouth and hands, as well as bloodstains on his legs and arms.

 

 

Sharapov was taken to Thalang Hospital for treatment and will later be transferred to Choeng Thale Police Station for further legal proceedings.

 

The charges and penalties against Sharapov have not yet been officially disclosed. However, in a similar case, anyone causing public disturbances are often charged under Section 378 of the Criminal Law, which carries a fine of up to 5,000 baht.

 

Additionally, as Sharapov caused physical injury to another person, he could face up to two years’ imprisonment, a fine of up to 40,000 baht, or both.

Police have not yet confirmed the motive behind Sharapov’s rampage.

Good to see the cops upped their game from last week having blown it dealing with the Belarusian madman in his underpants.

 

Visa-free entry process working nicely!

There will be plenty of them about when the invasion of Ukraine is over, and they come home from the front line, from both sides

 Perhaps he had a flashback to  when he was in Ukraine looting women's lingerie and home appliances when one of the grannies resisted his attempt to sexually assault her?

[EVENKEEL]

Should have shot him.

"Frussians"❗

[sikishrory]

What visas are these guys on now? Do they still get the special longer tourist visas than lots of others? I noticed in a DTV podcast the other day they are not in the top 5 nationalities receiving it. 

They are everywhere and lots are staying long term.

It's amazing what Thais will put up with for ฿.

[Taboo2]

So many tough, violent, bad ass Russkies here in Thailand, but none back home to fight real men.

 

Send this coward to prison for 10 years and then deport and blacklist forever!

Phuket - Little Russia, the uncivilized part of Thailand. But then again, Thailand love Russia and China, so what could ever go wrong!! Now I am worried about Hua Hin as it seems like they will make an international airport there. That could spell doom for the last area I find attractive in Thailand. Imagine a few hundred thousand Russians and Chinese invade that too! Then Thailand is over. Bye Bye...

Scare times ahead....can only hope for the best.

All the above. My guess.

[jippytum]

in our condo we have many Russian tenants. who because of their numbers  physical appreance  and beligerent attitude intimidate the manager,owners and committee members when confronted for breaking the rules. 

[Ironmike]

Yet another coward from Russia hiding out here until the war ends if he wants to be violent it's simple send him home to Putin and revoke all long stay visas for Russians as they are all here working illegally and doing what ever they want,,time to send the same message that Sri Lanka sent them by revoking 300,000 visas a couple of years ago and kicking them all out. 

[CANSIAM]

Cowards showing their toughness in Phuket, deport where he can show that toughness in the trenches, give them North Koreans a break

It really is pathetic, abusing a people who are passive, try yourself a verbal lashing at the goons - give them a behaviour check....
