Naked Thai man in "Tarzan" overpass drama: He refused to take the meds

 

Pictures: Daily News

 

Traffic in the Laem Chabang area was paralyzed for an hour yesterday as a naked Thai man threatened to jump from an overpass. 

 

Police shut off one lane of traffic as an officer was dispatched to try and talk Niran, 27, down from the bridge. 

 

Instead of coming down he started swinging from a lamppost saying repeatedly "I want to die", reported Daily News. 

 

He was yelling out like Tarzan in the movies, reported the Thai media. 

 

 

Then Niran decided to take off on foot and a long and tiring chase began before he was eventually wrestled to the ground. 

 

Niran's mother said that he had had a mental health episode 4 or 5 years ago but had refused to take medication prescribed by a specialist. He would only take anti-depressants. 

 

Yesterday's events followed an incident where he was locked up in the Laem Chabang police cells. After that he was taken to hospital but fled the medical staff and took all his clothes off. 

 

Police took him back to the hospital to have him assessed.

Earlier this week a young lady was threatened with being locked up for 5 years and fined 100,000 baht for getting her kit off. I wonder whether Niran will be treated in the same way?

Maybe he had to much yabaa and went mental .  He needs professional help but I doubt there is anything waiting for him , just a tablet.

Yabaa? probably not so much Tarzan but more likely Yogi Bare ..."Yabba Dabba Doo"

I would say just another attention seeking Thai man who over some instance recently didn't get his own way.

Personally I have always agreed with freedom of choice but never agreed with interfering with the balance of nature.

From what I’ve been told, there wouldn’t have been much to see anyway.

(Cold day perhaps ?)
