PHUKET:-- 21-year-old man has received three charges from Phuket City Police after footage was released online of him yielding a 77 centimetre machete and violently threatening the driver of another vehicle which happened to be filming him at the time of the incident.

 

This incident occurred on Thepkrasattri Rd, at the U-turn near the Isuzu showroom in Koh Kaew, Thalang.

 

“Lt Col Naruebodin Pangleesen of the Phuket City Police tracked down an Isuzu pick-up truck from its number plate provided by the victim. Police called the owner of the pick-up truck to come to Phuket City Police Station,” Phuket City Police Deputy Chief Lt Col Nat Promthep told reporters.

500 baht fine, maybe some compensation for damage to other car.

A little problem, methinks.  Not the complete quote but it does seem to imply that the vehicle which the assailant approached was doing the filming.

No license, idiot driving and a weapon... should go to jail for some years and never be on the road again.

But he will be seen driving tomorrow latest again.

Forget the fine. Just cut the right arm off ( Sharia law), no more machete use no more driving, problem solved.
