  • Mediaeval Knight arrested in Victoria

    Told you country Australia is a weird place. :mocan:

    This place is a few hours from where I grew up....and people wonder why I bolted to the big city as soon as I was old enough. Give me the local junkies & dealers anyday - they can't be bothered with much more than tracksuit pants. ;)

    As an aside, this place isn't far from Puckapunyal - the major base & training area for Australia's armoured force. Perhaps we are going REALLY 'old school' with our concept of 'armour'. At least it would be cheap.
    :tank:


    A sword-wielding man dressed in a suit of armour has surrendered to police after a siege which lasted nearly eight hours in Victoria’s north.

    The 43-year-old man was holed up in a caravan in Congupna on the Goulburn Valley Highway, about nine kilometres north of Shepparton.

    Police began negotiating with the man at 9.30am after he threatened to harm himself.

    The siege ended at 5.15pm when he surrendered “without incident”, a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.

    The Congupna man, who was dressed in a medieval-style suit of armour, is being treated by paramedics and will be interviewed by police.

    Afterwards he will be returned to the Museum in UK from where he escaped?:whome:

      Was he guarding a bridge?

      And were there any Trojan Rabbits about?

        No I think he came from the Smithsonian Museum. I think they forgot to put that Egyptian thingy back where it belongs and a Knight came alive and escaped. Calls for Night of the Museum 3 or Redux.

          Not sure, but according to my local contacts he was saying 'Ni' a lot.

                Damn it, now I have so many scenes in my head of what could have happened there.

                One of them:

                    On second thought, let's not go to Australia. 'Tis a silly place.

                          Alright, let's get serious for a minute.

                          What were they negotiating for 8 hours? Airspeed velocity of a swallow?
