Protesting Bangkokian finally brought down from atop a road sign

By THE NATION

 

 

The man who climbed up a road sign in Bangkok on Tuesday (September 8 ) at around 7am, was finally coaxed down at about 11am and taken to talk to deputy police spokesperson Krisana Pattanacharoen.

 

The man, dressed in black and sporting a helmet, had climbed up a sign on the Rama III bridge and demanded to speak with deputy police commissioners.

 

Officers from nearby police stations showed up to coax him down, but to no avail. Medics from Charoenkrung Pracharak Hospital were also at hand.

 

Later, at around 9am, the superintendent of Pak Khlongsan police station took a boom lift to negotiate with the man, but at the end of the 20-minute chat, the officer was only able to say that the man wanted to speak to higher ups. He also indicated that the man owed money to loan sharks.

Is he talking about higher up police loan sharks the officer may want to go super size on that cherry picker????

He is in as much danger up on that sign,as walking the streets,

if he owes loan sharks money,he would be better changing his

name and moving as far away as possible from Bangkok.

Should have taken his motorcycle to the local station, he could talk to someone there when he came to claim it so he could get home.
