Authorities arrested an intoxicated Norwegian who smashed up Pattaya Police Station and broke lightbulbs on Beach Road.
The large suspect broke windows, smashed a police car and entered the traffic-control office and busted up equipment there before running out of the station.
He then managed to pull out lightbulbs along Beach Road and hurled them at passing cars.
Police pursued and the Norwegian ran into a convenience store where he threw shelved items on the floor before officers corralled him.
The man carried no identification and a drug test was ordered to determine if he was high on booze or an illegal substance.
