On the night of January 17, a half-naked man entered the administration of Phuket in Thailand and started a brawl with an ax. As it turned out, he turned out to be a 24-year-old Russian citizen.

The intruder broke the glass door of the local governor's office on the fourth floor. The Russian arrived at the scene wearing only shorts.

What is known about the situation

The mad Russian was first noticed by a security guard at about 02:45 local time. The worker heard the phone ringing and went to check. Subsequently, the security guard noticed that an unknown man was hiding on the first floor near the elevator.

The security officer tried to detain the intruder. However, the uninvited guest ran down the stairs, rising to the floors above.

Law enforcement officers were called to the scene. Before their arrival, the Russian managed to break the glass door of the governor's office.

Meanwhile, the Russian citizen had already managed to escape on a motorcycle that had previously been stolen from a local resident. Subsequently, law enforcement officers detained the attacker and took him to a mental hospital with a preliminary diagnosis of “mental disorder.”

This is not the first time Russians have disgraced themselves abroad

• In July 2023, on a Turkish beach, a Russian decided that he could take whatever he wanted, which is why a conflict broke out with Ukrainian women. Seeing that there were only things left on the sun lounger, the tourist couldn’t think of anything better than just throwing them away in order to comfortably arrange his “majestic” sides.
• Russians cannot soak up the sun for long It was possible, because the Ukrainians returned. However, in response to their indignation, he began to behave characteristically for Russians – to be rude to those whom he himself had caused harm. At the same time, he didn’t particularly choose his words, despite the fact that there was a small child standing next to him.
• He also began to boast about how many Ukrainians he allegedly personally killed in Ukraine , and also to humiliate the nation as a whole, against which his own country launched a war. He also casually threw out “those who came here with their children” and asked why Ukrainians dare to vacation in Turkey. Subsequently, the impudent tourist was not only taken to the police, but also evicted from the hotel.
