SA man Nicholas Carr apologises for drunken rampage in Bali, offers compensation to victims
Nicholas Carr can’t remember allegedly kicking a passing motorcyclist, smashing windows or violently invading an Indonesian man’s home. But he says he wants to compensate the victims.
A South Australian man who went on a violent rampage in Bali, allegedly assaulting a man in his home and fly-kicking a motorcyclist from his moving bike, says he was drunk and wants to compensate his victims.
In his alcohol-fuelled crime spree around Kuta Beach, Nicholas Carr also allegedly smashed windows of a mini-mart and restaurant.
“I will do whatever they want,” Mr Carr, 26, told Seven News from his police holding cell about his willingness to compensate his victims.
“We drank vodka in our hotel room before we went out, then drank cocktails and drank more vodka after that. I have drunk until I have blacked out but I have never done this before, ever. I can’t really remember most of it. I don’t have a recollection of it.
“I just want to see my family.”
Carr, who was visiting Bali with a friend, was worried about facing criminal charges. It was his second trip to the Indonesian island, and the pair had arrived just the day before his bizarre rampage.
The Advertiser attempted to contact police in Kuta yesterday but could not get through.
Carr is expected to face charges
He was filmed on Saturday morning, before sunrise, kicking a man off a speeding motorbike in a shower of sparks. The motorcyclist was shocked but escaped with minor injuries.
Dressed in a white T-shirt and brown shorts, Carr then rolled onto the bonnet of a moving car on Sunset Rd but miraculously survived the impact.
As he charged towards the car, he could be heard shouting “f... this, f... you, you f...ing (expletive)” before throwing himself at the vehicle.
He then ran down the street pursued by two men.
Carr also was captured on CCTV invading homes and a boarding house, knocking one man violently to the ground and frightening other residents. Nyoman Purda told Seven News how Carr assaulted him, invaded his home and then escaped through a window, leaving a trail of blood.
“I opened my room door and he approached me and straight away pulled me by my neck. I fell down,” Mr Purda said.
“After I fell down, he went into my room, he closed the door and locked it from the inside.
“When I fell down, my arm got injured. My nose was also bleeding.
“He was bleeding when he arrived here.
“There was a lot of blood, also in my room.”
Carr was initially hospitalised after his rampage and reportedly underwent a psychiatric assessment.
