"I'll get my Lebanese mates to sort you out Dawn Fraser" - Cleaner (2 Viewers)

[chicky_pie]

SWIMMING legend Dawn Fraser was abused by a cleaner who allegedly threatened to return to her home with 20 friends after an argument over a noisy vacuum cleaner.

Police were called to Ms Fraser's Balmain home early yesterday after the Olympic great became embroiled in an argument with a male cleaner across the road from her home who had woken her sick four-year-old grandson.

Ms Fraser, who has been bedridden with back pain, said she approached the man at 6.40am - 10 minutes before sunrise - to ask him to stop using a vacuum cleaner until at least 7am.

She alleges he turned on her and began swearing.

"It was quite shocking for me," Ms Fraser told The Daily Telegraph.

"He started swearing at me and I came inside and rang the environmental department and found he (could not start until) 7am."

Ms Fraser said her daughter Dawn-Lorraine then went to speak to him.

"He was verbally abusing her and intimidating her and threatening her. It wasn't necessary," she said.

"He started going off, saying 'I'm going to get my Lebanese mates to come and sort you out'."

Ms Fraser said she was stunned by the man's sudden burst of anger.

"I know he has a job to do but let's do it at a reasonable time. I just wanted him to stop until my grandson woke up. He had a very short fuse."

The cleaner also turned on a female neighbour, allegedly abusing her in Arabic before police arrived.

Dawn-Lorraine told The Daily Telegraph she held genuine fears the cleaner would return and follow through with his threat.

The single mother said the ordeal terrified her and her mother.

"Mum's sick, my son's sick. All she did was come out to ask him to stop because it wasn't 7 o'clock yet," Dawn-Lorraine said.

Choking back tears, Dawn-Lorraine said she was frightened by the man.

"You don't know what they are capable of," she said.

"The policeman said to me, 'Were you scared?' and I said, 'Yes.'

"I tried to be tough in front of him, but he knows where I live, he could get 20 blokes around here.

"I don't know whether he recognised mum or not, but he will now."

The cleaner, who works for contracting company 2Fresh, yesterday refused to comment. He was later questioned at Balmain police station and gave a formal statement.

Sergeant Rob Gallagher said police were investigating a confrontation involving Ms Fraser, her daughter and a male cleaning contractor following a noise complaint.

"We are looking at all the persons involved," Sgt Gallagher said.

"Once we obtain information from all witnesses we will make a decision about where the investigation will go."

You're defending a thug who threatened a little old lady.
Clearly you're insane.

 

[Gavvvvvin]

sif you could hear a vacuum cleaner from across the fuckin road. sif 20 minutes makes a difference.

 

[beentherdunthat]

It's human nature to stick up for your own kind.

But then again its human nature for idiots like you guys to want to demoralize everyone else. So typical.

It's human nature to stick up for your own kind..

hahahhahahahahahahah

 

[beentherdunthat]

Man did you read the first part of the article? He was doing his job wthh. just coz she's DAWN FRASER she can come prancing around and ask him to turn off his vacuum. I don't get what kind of hearing powers her grandsons got but i'm pretty sure its too low to hear from across the street.

GEEZ

people calling them 'thugs' and shit and ghetto is contributing to the problem

THEY ARE WANNABES AND WILL BE REFERRED TO AS WANNABES OK!

 

[beentherdunthat]

lol. Note how everyone resorts to swearing at lebs, and stating their own stupid opinions of lebs when they could just stick to the damn thread...


level of intelligence, or the lack of it, is quite funny.

 

[$hiftyIceQueen]

Uhh the guy who said it must be one sad idiot picking on the old lady =|

And this doesn't mention Muslims so why are you even talking about them? :S

 

[Zrap]

If it was a lebo he would have had a go,
just an anglo with leb friends to the dirty
deed for him.

-is a ghetto, no good, subhuman wannabe Leb scum who should really fuck off back to his own country because people don't like me in the country I was born and raised in, and would give up my life for-

You've...made no sense in that statement..

 

[Martyno1]

Same shit.

You're an Egyptian Christian, saying that Lebanese & Muslim is the same shit when there is a much greater percentage of Christians in Lebanon then there are in Egypt? That's pretty stupid on your part.

Okay, they're both shit. Happy?


Edit: That also made no sense. How does the proportion of christian lebanese to muslim lebanese bear any relevance to my statement?

 

[Martyno1]

Okay, they're both shit. Happy?

Of course not, but I won't stop you from living your life with your conservative and close-minded views on racial/ethnic matters because there's no point. Maybe one day you'll learn.

It's called sarcasm, smarty.
