Siam Rath reported on a chase and subsequent capture of someone believed to be on drugs. It happened on the normally quiet seaside island of Koh Chang.

 

Cops got a call about a man in a Nissan March.

 

He refused to stop and raced for Kai Bae where he was cornered by a gelato shop.

 

The police parked two trucks to block him in but this created 2 km tailbacks.

It was two hours before the man was in custody - he had been brandishing a knife.

 

His car had no narcotics at all.

 

Just prescription meds.

 

It appeared he was going without his meds.

The media called him a mental health patient in their headline. 

 

The whole thing took 2 hours to resolve.

    I do hope the police have thanked the gelato shop for its intervention.

    Let alone the Gelato shop that finally cornered him.

    Saw the video on a local FB page. Took the cops an eternity to get this nutcase out of his little car.. ????

    Good to see three of the cops taking cover behind their fat mate.
