A former soldier who claimed to have fought off a Vietnamese gang , like karate super-hero Bruce Lee , has failed to win his claim for post-traumatic stress disorder after a judge ruled that his tales were 'totally incredulous ' . The Administrative Appeals Tribunal were told of the night Norman Olsen had been at a bar in Hong Kong , when he became involved in a fight with a gang of 12 armed with weapons in the 1970s . The Queenslander said he was able to take on each of the 'crazed lunatics ... screaming and yelling ' at him as they came with batons that had spiked two-inch balls attached to the ends . He detailed how he was able to escape with an injury to his elbow . Mr Olsen argued that such events left him with post-traumatic stress disorder and took the matter to the AAT for an appeal after it was initially rejected . Norman Olsen , a former soldier , who claimed to have fought off a dozen attackers like karate super-hero Bruce Lee ( pictured ) has failed to win his claim for post-traumatic stress disorder , after a judge ruled that his tales were 'totally incredulous ' 'In relation to the Hong Kong Bar incident , The account Mr Olsen gave conjured up images of a scene out of a Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee ( pictured ) movie , Mr Olsen playing the role of the super hero , ' tribunal member Marella Denovan said on March 4 . Tribunal member Marella Denovan was not reasonably satisfied and consequently knocked back with Mr Olsen 's claims on March 4 . 'In relation to the Hong Kong Bar incident , the account Mr Olsen gave conjured up images of a scene out of a Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee movie , Mr Olsen playing the role of the super hero , ' Dr Denovan said . 'It is totally incredulous . ' A number of psychiatrists gave evidence , as Dr Denovan concluded Dr Bradley Ng 's to be the most reliable . Dr Ng questioned the legitimacy of the accounts of events provided by Mr Olsen , saying that the former soldier talks quite boastfully about punching and assaulting people while claiming to have been in fear in Vietnam . Dr Ng further opined that there is a high chance that Mr Olsen has an antisocial personality disorder , saying he 'fails to conform to social norms at times , and has gross impulsivity and marked irritability and aggressiveness ' . The psychiatrist then stated that 'people with antisocial personality disorder tend to deceive and distort accounts ' . Dr Denovan said there were inconsistencies and inaccuracies in Mr Olsen 's claims , which the digger acknowledged and attributed his earlier accounts of the incidents to his illness . But Dr Denovan handed down the decision that Mr Olsen was 'an unreliable witness ' . ' I have concluded that Mr Olsen has a sincere belief that his psychiatric illness/s are due to his experiences in Vietnam , however he is an unreliable witness , and he was not exposed to the events the diagnosis of PTSD relies upon , ' Dr Denovan said . ' I therefore find that on balance , Mr Olsen suffers from generalised anxiety disorder , antisocial personality disorder , and alcohol misuse . '
