Watch : Unhappy woman attacks emcee during lottery draw

The live broadcast of the government lottery draw was halted when a 35 year old woman threatened one of the emcees with a screwdriver. 

 

The live broadcast of the government lottery draw was temporarily halted when a 35-year-old woman threatened one of the emcees with a screwdriver. 

 

The lottery draw, held in Phatthalung province’s City Hall on Friday, was being broadcast live on Channel 5. The hall was crowded with lottery hopefuls and related officials. 

 

The attacker, later identified as Prapapan from Phatthalung’s Muang district, is believed to have a history of mental illness.

 

The Channel 5 emcee, Thananya Pipitwinchakarn, was announcing the funds the Government Lottery Office was donating to local authorities, when Prapapan approached her.

 

Video footage of the incident shows Prapapan walking past the television camera towards Thananya who was looking down. Suddenly Prapapan held a screwdriver against the emcee’s neck.

 

Two men sprang up to rescue Thananya, and as they were dragging Prapapan away, she was heard yelling that her problems have never been solved or reported by the media. The broadcast of the lottery draw was then temporarily suspended. 

 

The attack left the emcee slightly injured. 

 

Police investigators claim that Prapapan appears to be mentally ill. She apparently tried to lodge a complaint with local authorities and the media on February 28, but when nobody paid her any attention, she was heard yelling that she would make everybody learn about Phatthalung.

Wonderful, how often did she (try to) harm other people already?

Should maybe, maybe someone take care of her and make sure she does not harm anybody?

TiT

So the reason for the attack was the fortune teller who told her the winning numbers is to blame for giving the wrong numbers.

Don't you just feel like doing this when you don't win ????

didnt take long did it, post 3, good old thaivisa nothing ever changes or MAYBE it might lol

Those Lego figurine screwdrivers may be small but they are lethal....

 

Anyway fella's, thats it now...no election this month...what with this kind of civil unrest...I mean...come on??!!!!

Southern women... I love them to bits, but Christ they are angry.

I was at my daughter's school only today, when a fight broke out in the playground among 15 year old boys. Demure, four foot female teachers charged into the fray, (metaphorical) knuckledusters in hand. These lads were in for it...

 

The OP does not surprise me in the slightest.

Am I missing something here...she lodged a complaint with the police that wasn't followed up (according to her) and then the police say she has mental issues. Police deflecting the possible issue perhaps ?????

She didn't pay the police enough to do their job; this was her way of protesting, thus giving police another reason not to serve and protect by banging her up.

Thais take their ''lucky numbers '' very seriously...

How many times did  Yinglucks license plate number turn up "lucky" in lotteries? Says it all.

You gonna make me GoDuckDuck that ? 

How could anyone possibly tell mental illness here????

Why the bad quality video recorded from a screen (with no original sound) and not the broadcast footage ?

they do the same with CCTV footage which I can kind of understand as the formats are often some obscure chinese

codec that needs special propriety conversion software.

I guess lucky 13 was not the winner.

Someone got out of bed on the wrong side, or did your bf nock you back?

Maybe she has a legit grievance... maybe she has problems or debt because of gambling... 

 

Maybe, just maybe, she sees the lottery for what it is, a big, legitimised scam, which targets the country's least educated and most vulnerable.

 

Maybe she's the one that is normal, and all the other Thais are lunatics...

 

Maybe all of the above is true, but that doesn't give you the right to walk up to an innocent person & put a screwdriver to their neck !!

Thailand does NOT have facilities for the many unstable natives on it's shores.

lottery is a tax for the poor and gullabul in countries like this. Shes sick of paying taxes?

Ban her from buying screwdrivers ????

This lottery show makes me want to take a screwdriver and pluck my eyes out. Guinness book stuff for fake plasticity, pure Thainess.

Many Folks in adjoining countries will tell you that Thailand is one big Mental Institution and the longer i live here the more i understand their point of view !

Women here take the lottery so seriously.
