Pattaya, Chon Buri - A Norwegian was beaten up and severely injured
allegedly by a British bar owner and employees late Saturday night.
Police said Bjorn Tennebek, 45, was admitted to the Pattaya Memorial
Hospital at 3:30 am Sunday.
His two eyes were badly injured with sprayed pepper and he suffered severe
cuts on his head and had a badly-bruised face.
The man told police that the owner of Champagne Go-Go Bar on Soi Buakhao,
Central Pattaya, assaulted him.
He said he went to drink at the bar Saturday night and when he was about to
pay his bill, he found that he was overcharged by Bt60. When he asked the
cashier to review the bill, the bar owner, who appeared to be a Briton,
showed up and alleged that he was refusing to pay the bill.
The tourist told police that the Briton sprayed pepper over his eyes and had
two or three bar workers drag him out and they started beating him.
He said passer-bys helped send him to the hospital.
Pattaya police chief Pol Col Noppadol Wongnom said he would later
interrogate the Norwegian so that police would take legal action against the
bar owner.
