MORE THAN 10 POLICE BATTLE DRUNK NORWEGIAN

At 3.20 am on February 13th, Police Lieutenant General Santi Chainiramai, received notification that there was a very drunk, extremely large tourist causing a disturbance in front of the Best Friend Beer Bar, at the beginning of Soi Pattayaland.

 

When the police arrived, they found Mr. Edmund Johnsen, aged 48, a Norwegian national of stocky stature struggling with a Thai man, Mr Natee Wichathayanont, a staff member of nearby weight lifting shop, who the Norwegian had in a head lock. There was a crowd of tourist spectators gathered around watching the fray, some of whom attempted to render assistance to the Thai, but to no avail.

 

At this stage, more than 10 policemen set upon Mr. Johnsen to try and control him. The police eventually managed to separate Natee Wichathayanont from his drunken assailant and sent him to hospital finally succeeded in quelling the extremely drunk Norwegian.

 

A local waitress in a nearby beer bar said she had seen Mr. Johnsen, accompanied by three or four friends, go into a local go-go bar. They all emerged some time later in a very drunken state, shouting and swearing at bystanders. First, Johnsen laid into one of his friends and the others tried to intervene. The situation developed into a melee from which Johnsen’s friends beat a hasty retreat, leaving the drunk Norwegian on his own.

 

Johnsen then set upon a local bystander who had not been previously involved in the fray, Mr. Natee Wichathayanont, whom the Norwegian put into a head lock. It was then that the police arrived.

 

After temporarily quelling the Norwegian, the police put him in handcuffs and bustled him into a car, but he continued to struggle resulting in the police having to stop the police car. When it stopped, Johnsen forced his way out of the police car, stood in the middle of the road and proceeded to break his handcuffs. At this the police charged en masse at Johnsen, who flailing around himself with the handcuffs in self defence, caught a police officer, Mr Krairit Karnchanasiri, a stunning blow which caused him to bleed heavily from the head wound.

 

Johnsen was then remanded into custody and will be charged with assault on a police officer, injuring a member of the public, trying to avoid being arrested by the police and causing a public disturbance. News Type : Crime

I suspect we will never have to worry about bumping into him in Pattaya ever again.

 

It's not totally without reason that aropund 1000 years ago, they used to include this prayer around the coasts of Europe:

 

'A furore Normanorum libera nos, O Domine!'

From the fury of the Norsemen, Oh lord deliver us.

 

So watch out, Skallagrim is in town again soon
