‘Like a wild bull’: Shirtless man attempts to roundhouse kick scooter driver in Bali

According to Australian News site 9news, Another Crazed Tourist has Attacked Locals in Bali. The man went on a street rampage in Bali, hurling wooden planks at innocent bystanders and attempting to kick a scooter driver.

The early morning spree by the shirtless man – who witnesses said was visiting from Australia – lasted for more than two hours in the resort district of Seminyak.

“He had two huge pieces of timber and was swinging them around at the locals,” an Australian witness, who didn’t want to be named, told 9News.

“I saw him try to use that piece of wood and sort of spear throw it at people on bikes.

“He started charging like some sort of wild bull at them.

“Two blocks up he was smashing front doors and they were saying ‘no no that’s a hotel’.”

Mobile phone vision, obtained by 9News, showed the man executing a roundhouse kick that narrowly missed a scooter driver who was attempting to avoid him on a street called Jalan Drupadi.

The attacker was heard yelling “I’m a one-man army, come at me, come and stab me”.

A group of local security guards had no luck restraining him before he eventually fled.

The witness who spoke to 9News said that during a brief conversation with the man a couple of days earlier he’d mentioned he lived in Sydney and was originally from New Zealand.

It’s understood no-one was injured in the frenzy.

Police said they’re yet to launch an investigation because no official complaints have been made, but had this warning for tourists as 2500 officers were deployed ahead of New Year’s Eve celebrations:

“While they stay in Bali they have to respect law enforcement,” Inspector General Petrus Reinhard Golose said. “They have to understand that Bali is safe to visit and we’re going to protect you while you are in Bali.”
