snoop1130 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 A quick-thinking police officer has been praised for his decisive actions in averting a potential assault at a gas station in Tak. The incident, which occurred today, January 30, saw the officer, identified as Police Lance Corporal Patiphan Kachewapha, thwart an armed man’s attempt to assault a woman in the ladies’ restroom. The event unfolded when Patiphan Kachewapha, an officer from the 1st Division, Provincial Police, while en route to his hometown, stopped at a petrol station. There, he noticed a suspicious man loitering around the women’s restroom. Shortly after, the man forcefully entered the restroom and dragged a woman outside. Her cries for help alerted Patiphan, who immediately stepped in, identified himself as a police officer, and brandished his service ID, reported KhaoSod. Upon confronting the assailant, Patiphan discovered the man was armed with a homemade shotgun and four rounds of ammunition. Without hesitation, he detained the individual and promptly contacted the local police station in Tak to take the man into custody for further legal proceedings. Police General Tosak Sukwimon, the Chief of the Royal Thai Police, commended Patiphan for his exemplary conduct and spirit of public service. He lauded the officer for embodying the protective and vigilant qualities of law enforcement, swiftly intervening in dangerous situations. Tosak stressed the importance of such courage and readiness as a model for other police officers, highlighting the role they play as guardians of public safety in all circumstances.

Korat Kiwi Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Ok, I can understand it was a home made gun but how did he figure out that the guy had 4 rounds or shells on him? Was the gun loaded? Luckily for the off duty cop this idiot didn't open up on him. A shotgun can be very nasty at close range. I expect one the perp was disarmed and cuffed was when the off duty cop found the shells. Nutters in every country.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
