Drunk tourist tasered by cops after allegedly hurling racist insults, praising Adolf Hitler

A drunk tourist was tasered by police after allegedly hurling N-word abuse at a Canadian man.

Marsala Gueye, 34, and his friends were on the backpacker strip Khao San Road in Bangkok, Thailand, when they were approached by the intoxicated man at their table in a restaurant.

Gueye, who is black and from Toronto, Canada, claimed that the man tried to join them and attempted to share a book about Adolf Hitler, causing them to ask him to leave them alone.

“He did not listen, and the situation eventually escalated. He became aggressive, made racist remarks and repeatedly used the N-word,” Gueye said.

“After we told him to leave, he later came back and tried to give me a mug. I did not personally recognise what was displayed on the mug at the time, but one of my friends told me that it had a Nazi swastika symbol on it.”

The man was said to have become aggressive, made racist remarks and repeatedly used the N-word after the friends confronted him, causing the encounter to escalate.

The vacationers, who included Gueye along with two of his friends from Australia, then moved across the street to distance themselves from the drunk, but he continued to follow them.

Footage captured on September 10 at 8 a.m. shows the intoxicated tourist in a Hawaiian shirt speaking with a local, who appears to intervene between them.

The man then walks towards the pavement and lies on the ground.

He then shouts out slogans praising Adolf Hitler while performing a Nazi salute multiple times and looking towards the group.

The tourists then respond: “Say it one more time,” with the tourist yelling out “N—–,” saluting Hitler and saying “Kanye West is my f—ing brother.”

Locals reportedly called the police during the encounter, fearing that the confrontation might escalate into a brawl.

In another clip, the visibly enraged tourist is seen charging towards Gueye.

Four police officers then intervene, surrounding the man as Gueye’s friend backs away.

Gueye can be heard saying “get him away from me or I will f— him up,” as others tell the officers to arrest the man.

One of the officers then approaches the ground, appearing to assume that he is the aggressor. However, his friend in a white shirt speaks to the officer and points out that the man in the Hawaiian shirt is the one causing trouble.

Moments later, as the drunk tourist continues to follow them, one of the officers takes out a taser and aims it at him.

The officer then pulls the trigger, sending an electric shock through the man’s body and causing him to fall to the ground as the police surround him.

The group are then told to move away while the authorities surround the man.

Gueye recalled that they also saw the man carrying luggage containing numerous Hitler- and Nazi-related items.

”I also personally witnessed him smash the Jack Daniel’s bottle, and I witnessed him become physically aggressive and assault one of the men who was with us,” he added.

“He was repeatedly using racist slurs and making offensive remarks towards us.”

Speaking today to ViralPress, officers said that the German tourist was not arrested. They said he went on his way once the confrontation had been de-escalated.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Komonsit Sawatmongkol, Deputy Superintendent of Patrol at Chanasongkhram Police Station, which covers Khao San Road, said: “The police officers intervened and separated both parties. At that time, they did not know who had started the incident, who was the suspect, who was the victim or what they had been arguing about.”

“One of the foreigners was Canadian, while the other party was believed to be German. The German, who was wearing a green shirt, appeared to be a little dizzy or possibly intoxicated.

“The officers told them not to cause any trouble and asked them to separate. Both parties said that there was nothing more to it and that the matter was over. They did not appear to want to hold a grudge or press charges, so both sides went home.”

Officers said that Gueye visited the police station later the same day to file a complaint about the incident. However, officers said that “no violence was witnessed” when they arrived.

They said that the incident was not being investigated further.

“The patrol officers did not witness any punching or physical assault,” Lieutenant Colonel Sawatmongkol added.

“They only saw the two parties throwing bottles at each other without hitting each other, so we did not have information at the time about who had started the incident or who had committed an offence.

“The alleged victims did not return to give further statements to the duty officer, so we do not have details about exactly what was said during the incident.”
