A drunk Australian went crazy in Bali. The locals locked him in a minimarket.

A drunk Australian in Bali had to be locked inside a convenience store before he could be arrested for allegedly attacking an Indonesian man.

Bystanders were forced to lock the man inside the store after the alleged attack, to prevent him from causing further damage but also to protect him from an angry mob waiting outside, according to Badung police spokesperson Puta Sukarma.

Puta said the “foreigner”, identified only as John, “went crazy” around 3.30am on Thursday near the Potato Head Beach Club in North Kuta.

The alleged victim, a 28-year-old man, was riding his motorcycle when he saw the Australian being “chased by several ride-sharing motorcycle taxis that were offering him a ride,” Puta said.
