Two US sailors are sent back to the USS Abraham Lincoln after a drunken altercation in Pattaya, Thailand, Thai police say. Authorities are alerted in the early hours of Thursday to what police describe as a “small scuffle” near Walking Street, a nightlife area.
Thai police say the sailors were drunk and were fighting, causing loud noise. The city police chief describes the incident as “trivial.” NDTV adds context that the event occurs shortly after the Abraham Lincoln arrives in Thailand for a port visit, with thousands of US service members in the area.
Across the reports, the accounts align on the location near Walking Street, the early-morning timing, the involvement of two US sailors, and that they are ordered back to the ship. Both outlets characterize the incident as limited in scope, though they provide limited detail beyond police descriptions and the circumstances of the port call.
