Shocking footage shows Brit beaten up by crowd holding weapons in Bali after he allegedly punched cabbie in the face
THIS IS the shocking moment that a British tourist was beaten up by an armed crowd in Bali. The tense fight kicked off after Brandon Joseph, 30, allegedly punched a local cabbie in the face whilst on the island. 6 6 In the video, Brandon Joseph can be seen running into a crowd of men in a bid to break up a fight between an unnamed man and the crowd. The crowd scatters and the unnamed man in beige sprints to safety while the crowd turns against Joseph. As the crowd began to regroup, Brandon reapproached them in an ominous warning to stay back. Throughout the scuffle, the locals can be heard to say: 'Go, go, go!' Eventually, the shirtless Brandon retreats to a white van while the crowd begins to hurl stones at him. A voice can be heard saying: 'Don't damage the car. 'Please don't damage my car, sir, this is my car. 'If there's a problem, it's with the guest.' Meanwhile, a local cabbie named Herlindo Emmanuel Nino, 31, can be seen clutching his face while blood streams out his nose. Reportedly, Brandon assaulted Herlindo in a car park in the Bandung district of Bali which kickstarted the fight. Allegedly, the cab driver had offered Brandon a ride home but had been met with two unprovoked blows to the face. Police later arrived to control the furious crowd. A spokesman for the Denpasar Police, AKP I Ketut Sukadi, said: "There was an assault against an online taxi driver committed by a foreign national from the UK in the Savaya parking area. "The attack happened at 8:30 am. At that time, the tall and muscular British citizen had gotten out of the car and looked confused so the taxi driver offered him a ride. 6 "However, without saying a word, the tourist suddenly punched him in the face. As a result, he suffered several injuries." According to the South Kuta Police Chief, AKP Agus Dharmayana, Brandon was taken to the Bali Jimbaran Hospital to calm down. From there, he will be taken to the police station for interrogation. Meanwhile, the authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the fight. Brits have long been known for behaving badly in Bali, as many fly to the Indonesian province in search of sun, sand and partying. The island announced a raft of new laws aimed at curbing the 'naughty' behaviour of the Brits abroad which came into effect in March. The new legislation banned tourists from visiting temples for non-religious purposes, from swearing and from running any businesses on the island. A new tourist tax was enforced which requires visitors to pay £8 whenever they leave the island. One British boxer was arrested on May 3 after allegedly smashing his rented motorcycle into a local driver's vehicle. Liam Orne, 22, was visiting the island from Weston-super-Mare and allegedly began chasing the unnamed driver after the local began shouting at him. Eventually, the Brit was arrested at his hotel and local police have confirmed plans to charge him with assault - which carries a 5-year sentence in Bali. 6 6
