webfact Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Ukrainian goes berserk in Central Pattaya convenience store PATTAYA: -- Just after 4.30am on Friday, Banglamung Police were called to a 7-Eleven Convenience Store located at the front of Soi Neun Plub Wan to deal with a foreign man who was armed with two knives and was demanding the Police come and speak with him. newsjs Officers arrived and realized the man could not speak English or Thai so called in a Foreign Tourist Police Assistant who was able to communicate with the man who stated he was from Ukraine and was aged 35. He refused to give his name. The case began earlier in the night when the man purchased some water and then left. 15 minutes later he returned and went to the back of the shop and picked-up some nail varnish and used it to paint two letters on the back of the ATM casing. He painted the letters “M” and “I” and was approached by a motorbike taxi driver who challenged the man and told him to stop. At this point the Ukrainian produced two knives and shouted at shop staff to call the Police as he wanted to speak with them. Officers arrived along with the Foreign Police Assistant and after 3 hours of negotiations, the man was sprayed with pepper spray and was then pushed to the floor and restrained.

Popular Post loong Posted February 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2013 What happened? Usually the police officers "rush" to the scene This time they just "arrived." Obviously not in so much of a hurry when they get a report of a man armed with knives 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pass judgment until his side of the story gets out. If it ever does. Funny ... I don't see such generosity in the people around here when it's a Thai causing the problem (and I know what your come-back will be: 'because the Thais drug themselves' ... so try a different retort). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 There is always two sides to a story. Perhaps the man from provoked or cheated in the store. I can`t see any reasons why this guy would go into a rage for nothing and then insist on speaking to the police. I certainly would not assume anything until the man`s statement is published. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Briandajew Posted February 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2013 just another normal day in pattaya ..... Unfortunately these tossers are now filling the streets of Phuket, there was no Ukranians or Russians 4 years ago. I totally agree! What does surprise me though is that it seems OK to have a go (as it should be with certain "tossers") and label them as what they appear (as a majority of opinion) What bugs me is that if I was to say something along the same lines about Blacks / Africans - I would be a racist, if I said it about the Israelis I would be tarred with the usual "anti semite", or if I said it about the gay (not happy) community - I would be homophobic. Seems for the moment it is acceptable to hate the Ruskies!!! Freedom of speech should be about the freedom to hate anyone we like. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy spoke Russian so RTP waited for a western police volunteer to try & calm him down. Lucky for him the RTP didn't just shoot him as he had a knife in each hand. However their was a big crowd of Thais watching. The volunteer was quite brave as the guy tried to stab him as he was pepper sprayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think so, he cant even speak english so writing MIRACLE is way off the mark.

Popular Post chrisrazz Posted February 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2013 He might have been pissed off that his visit didn't meet the claims of the advertising. He expects a tropical paradise of happy smiling locals only to find that its full of hookers and that everybody is trying to rip him off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
