[webfact]

 

A deranged man wielding a knife wreaked havoc during his rampage at Building E, Ping Amporn Condominium, in Mueang District, Nonthaburi province.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Thongrat Riansuwong, Deputy Superintendent of Rattanathibet Police Station, received a report about the incident and travelled to the scene with more than 10 patrol police officers. The officers brought a forked stick to stop the man.

 

The disturbed man in question, 26 year old Thanabadi (surname withheld) was found at the scene of the incident. The perpetrator took off his shirt and wore only a pair of white trousers with no shoes. Thanabadi set off on a rampage and destroyed objects in his path.

The police tried to calm him for more than 15 minutes but to no avail. Officers resorted to climbing the side of a wall to chase and capture Thanabadi. The mentally unstable man tried to escape and ran in the middle of Prachaniwet 3 Road. He then climbed up and stood on top of a passing car.

He probably just got one of those little plastic spoons that don't fit into your mouth.  Time to start poking.

Looks like the guy with the taser is smiling underneath that mask.   I did not know they had tasers in Thailand.  When did the cops start using those.

I also did not know that Sig Sauer P365's were sold in Thailand.  Out of curiosity, does anyone know how much they are sold for in Thailand?

I've heard many items used in police training to apprehend a suspect,  a forked stick wasn't one of them.
