MELBOURNE, Ausrealia - For some two hours, a shirtless Malaysian who
referred to himself as the ‘Messiah’ held siege at the Little Ipoh Restaurant
in Melbourne.
Police were called to the restaurant just after 1pm
following reports that a man clutching a knife and fork was arguing with staff
at the eatery, The Daily Mail reported.
The man charged at officers with his weapon when they
arrived and was sprayed with pepper spray before barricading himself inside the
Malaysian-owned restaurant - a popular location for busy students and workers
in the city centre since 2014.
- Speaking through the window he had smashed using the weapon, members of the Australian special operations group, carrying shields and assault rifles, negotiated from the street with the man, in his 20s,
- He then threw a range of items from the window at police that included apples, oranges and a mobile telephone as he screamed from the window, pleading to speak to his mum and his “missus”.
- Later, he was seen laying down beside the window wearing sunglasses and appeared to take photos of himself on his mobile phone, posing and making gestures towards the media assembled there.
Brandishing a knife, he eventually walked out of the second
floor La Trobe Street restaurant just after 3pm, holding his bloodied hands in
the air and still ranting as the heavily armed police rushed to him.
The 7News website reported that after being handcuffed
by police, he was taken away in an ambulance where he was treated for cuts to
his hands and mentally assessed.
