He may be covered in tattoos, but a New Zealand
wrestler proved he was pretty thin-skinned when he allegedly decked a
smart-mouthed Canadian over a jibe about his body art.
New Zealand wrestler
Timothy John Ward was charged with assault over a fight with a Canadian
who dissed him over his tattoos.
Timothy John Ward, 47, was booked for assault in the
March 11 fist-fight with a 44-year-old Canadian in front of the Royal
Garden Plaza after midnight March 11. The Canadian, who suffered a
severe cut to the arm, was treated and released from Pattaya Memorial
Hospital.
Police said Ward admitted to being in a fight, but
said the scuffle was between two grown men and wasn’t a matter for the
police.
The fight began, Ward reportedly told officers, when
he was walking near the shopping mall when the Canadian began taunting
him over his large number of tattoos. A former wrestler, Ward hit the
man to shut him up, police said.
