Thread: Arab who pissed on Tony Blair's doorstep was a Kuwaiti government official

Police used a taser to stop a man urinating on Tony Blair’s doorstep...only to later learn he was a Kuwaiti government official.

The diplomatic protection officers had been patrolling outside the former Prime Minister’s £4.3 million London townhouse.

They approached the man, who appeared to be drunk, and asked him to stop urinating.

A scuffle ensued in the 3am incident and the police fired the 50,000-volt taser to incapacitate the Arab man so they could arrest him.

The unarmed suspect, Ayedh Alrashidi, who only speaks Arabic and understands little English, collapsed and was taken to a nearby hospital.

It was later revealed that Mr Alrashidi, 40, described as ‘a wealthy and peaceful man’, is a government official from Kuwait.

He was charged with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting a police officer.
