A 23-year-old Finn, who hurt himself when he fell while drunk, caused a disturbance as he claimed hospital staff wanted to steal his kidneys.

Riku Markus Makinen was given three months in prison, suspended for a year, and was fined €950 when he pleaded guilty to causing the disturbance when he was drunk.

Magistrate Josette Demicoli also heard the online gaming employee, who lives in Ta’ Xbiex, plead guilty to injuring two police officers and damaging the shirt of one of them, which cost him €5.

Sources said the incident started at Għadira Bay on Thursday when the Finn got drunk and started bothering people. He was arrested and taken to the Qawra police station. He stumbled at the police station, injured himself and was taken to Mater Dei Hospital where he continued to make a scene, at one point even accusing doctors and nurses of trying to steal his kidneys.
