Fortunate that the news reporter was alert and on the scene to get the car chase photo; even had time to get the right shutter speed for effect. Well done.

His name seems to be FREEPIK.

 

I wonder how much he gets paid.

 

 

The cops will find him at the Oshsi restaurant I suspect

It's difficult to imagine any car chase in metro Bangkok that doesn't end in rot deet within a block and a half.

It's good that he was allowed to keep enough money in his pockets to catch a taxi. Although he could have just done a runner, I guess.

And, I guess there is a chance that from the Pattanakarn area (where the article says the taxi was going towards), he took another taxi shortly afterwards and headed towards a totally different direction, with the thought that the police would look for him mainly in the Pattanakarn area.

 

I don't know. I am bored and just developed a scenario in my mind ????

 

By the way, good old Suan Phlu Immigration place ???? I am sure many of you here have been there. We used to do all our visa etc stuff there for many many years. Often, the place was chaotic and there were long waits, but, it was in a very central, nice part of town ????

His  name means Snow Willow.   ????

On September 9, a Japanese fugitive, Yuki Yanagi, escaped police custody in a daring car chase. He was initially detained at the Immigration Bureau in Suan Phlu before managing to commandeer a police vehicle and flee the scene. Yuki, who was later discovered to have abandoned the vehicle and taken a taxi, remains at large.

 

The incident occurred as Yuki was being transported for a court hearing at Ratchada Criminal Court. On arrival back at the Immigration Bureau for continued detention, he feigned illness and collapsed.

 

As officers attempted to assist him into the building, he seized the opportunity to sprint to the police vehicle and drive away, crashing through the office gates. It is believed that he had premeditated this escape, pretending to be injured from a previous fall at the court.

 

The abandoned police vehicle was later found near Charoen Krung Pracharak Hospital. Yuki had hailed a taxi and headed towards Pattanakarn Road, but his current whereabouts are unknown.

Also remember this is thought to be premeditated, when he collapsed they tried to help him into the department, he wasn't cuffed? 

Also he knew the vehicle he was running to had the keys in it, that's amazing.

Obviously, he did a runner, or the fare was pre paid

No not Tokyo, he's wanted in Japan for defrauding people of 4.8 million Bhat, enough to fill many brown envelopes 

They should make a film out of it. 

Taxi driver is going to be annoyed when the vigilante cannot pay.

He was actually caught yesterday in pattaya . 

Johnny Too-bad on the run.  Let's see how far he gets.

My guess is he'll disappear and a few months later we find out he's in Japan.

 

Balls in action!

Not when they were weighed down with 10000000 Yen.

Lucky plucky Yuki Yunagi.
