A man who just wanted to drink his beer in a library in Australia's
Northern Territory allegedly wrestled a librarian who attempted to
confiscate it before launching into an F-word tirade.
The unknown man pulled out his alcohol at the computer terminals inside
Casuarina Library on Friday.
Warwick Mylchreest, 22, was waiting to use the printer when he watched
the beer battle unfold. "He pulled out a long neck of Extra Dry and
started chugging it," he said. "He put it down on the desk and the
librarian sheila told him it's a library and he can't have it here. Old
mate jumped up and tried to wrestle her for it.
"They both had their hands on it. Then she said 'you can leave or else hand it over'." Mr Mylchreest said
the man promised to leave if the librarian gave him his beer back.
But instead he sat back down at the computer. Mr Mylchresst said there
were children present in the library at the time the incident occurred.
The librarian returned with the manager who told the man she'd call the
police. The man jumped up, shouted "well call the police" and stormed
off, shouting the F-word the whole way. Mr Mylchreest, from New South
Wales, said he'd never seen anything like that at a library before. It's
unclear whether or not the man got his beer back.
