Crazed Brit on Balcony causes concern at Central Pattaya apartment



PATTAYA: -- Early on Thursday Morning, Police were called to an apartment complex in Central Pattaya to deal with an out-of-control British man who was armed with a sharp implement and appeared to be ready to jump off a 2nd floor balcony.

The incident occurred just after 8.30am at the Badab Yart Apartments in Soi 42 off the Sukhumvit Road, where Police encountered Mr. David John Riding aged 59 sitting on the edge of the balcony armed with Ice Tongs, a steel pot and a metal rod. He was singing and shouting, and those in the area could not fully understand what he was saying.

Khun Jutamat aged 36, Mr. Riding’s Girlfriend, confirmed the apartment was hers and Mr. Riding normally came to Thailand on holiday once a year. She described how she was awoken by Mr. Riding who was hugging her tightly. She pulled away from him and Mr. Riding appeared to be mumbling to himself. Khun Jutamat confirmed he was not intoxicated and she believes he was not under the influence of a narcotic.

Ice Tongs,

Very deadly weapons they are.

Blimey! Better armed than North Korea!

[grumpyoldman]

Maybe the lady friend can lend him a bra.

Please can we swap some of these Loons -- who cut bar girls up stuff them in a suitcase, urinate in the street.... kill each other because their in a different motor cycle group...and basically make up a good part of the child sex offenders .....for some quality Chinese tourists......................

[dddave]

I sympathize. It is very annoying to run out of ice.

[luke000]

2 nd floor ?

He could sprain his ankle

[roo860]

Come on England!!!

[MrTee]

Poor bloke..
I hope he gets his head back in order.

Clearly suffering from some mental issues, but no one here has an empathy for a fellow human.

Judging by two of the pictures, I suspect he's a plumber back in the UK.

"He was singing and shouting, and those in the area could not fully understand what he was saying."

Could have been a late Christmas carol ?

[NeverSure]

He'll be back posting on TVF tomorrow.

You're a bit off the pace today Mr Oxo.

The 'quality' expat in Chiang Mai/Fang who was, by all uninformed accounts, a Buddhist 'scholar' and an upstanding pillar of Northern Thai expat community has been nabbed for being a pervert, kiddy fiddler. There is a thread running which is quite amusing as the Chiang Mai 'Rotarians' scramble to distance themselves from him.....

I'd take 50 of these 'Loons' over sexual deviants dressing themselves up as 'respectable' members of the 'expat' community.

I wish the lad all the best and hope he gets the help he needs.

[Jingthing]

Maybe he was trying to start an Argentinian style people's protest over the raise in ATM fees?

"Unintelligable", armed with kitchen utensil, Ice-tongs but no ice or pish!!

Sounds like one of those potty Glaswegians again

Nuh....probably from Yorkshire and singing "On Ilkly moor bar 'tat."

[LennyW]

The DT's sounds like!!

Delirium tremens (DTs) is the most severe form of ethanol withdrawal manifested by altered mental status (global confusion) and sympathetic overdrive (autonomic hyperactivity), which can progress to cardiovascular collapse.

Look like a scene from Happy and Paul...coor..check her out...

[jaywalker]

He'll be back posting on TVF tomorrow.

He's probably angered by the way Americans say burglarized.

Then again, he might just be out of ice.

Yet again, John is his middle name, AND he's English????

EJ maybe?

[Torrens54]

Maybe he awoke from a terrible nightmare in which he found himself taking a Bath for the second time in a week and it was just

......all too terrifying for him.

[overherebc]

Surprised that all the ex guys, you know who I mean, wink,wink, haven't explained how deadly a pair of kitchen tongs and a pot can be in trained hands.

[OMGImInPattaya]

A little late to the New Year's revelry mate...and put a bra on when you go out in public.

[kaiyaibob]

"He was singing and shouting, and those in the area could not fully understand what he was saying." the revered PM has said thais need to up their game when it comes to English...perhaps this is what he meant.

Thats the problem with hospitals here. They never check the Bangkok left luggage section for the tourists brain. Over half of arrivals clearly leave them there when they arrive. They just need re-uniting.

Ah seems like true love scorned. That can make one into an attention seeker to tell the world his problems. I think like the Town Crier of old he was just trying to draw attention to himself to pledge his truth love for the fair maiden. No harm done. Maybe his wallet started to run on empty and the young lady decided it was time to jump ship.

no way! summat to do with "worms will coom and eat thee oop!"

but to be fair, looks like a wheel has come loose and he needs expert help.

[JHolmesJr]

Classic bingo player…..a pattaya addict, you might say….

[12DrinkMore]

Yes,

should be fined 500 Baht and given a talk on decency and dress code in Thailand.

[lamyai3]

"He was singing and shouting, and those in the area could not fully understand what he was saying."

Maybe he's treating the locals to the much loved English folk ditty:

"Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough...!"
