He’s getting quite a lot of attention in Turkey right now.
In case you were living under a rock since last night, you’ve probably caught sight of a man, reported in Turkey to be an Irish tourist, taking on all comers in a massive street brawl in Aksaray, a neighbourhood in Istanbul.
The video, which you can see in full here, shows the man getting a bottle of water from a fridge in a shop, but spilling a number of bottles out onto the ground while doing so.
Soon after, mayhem breaks loose and the man suddenly finds himself taking on a gang of angry locals, some of whom came armed with chairs and baseball bats.
