A 55-year-old man in Phatthalung was left shaken on December 7, after encountering his shirtless neighbour standing motionless outside his gate, chanting what appeared to be incantations while holding a 30-centimetre machete. Despite attempts to chase him away, the man refused to leave, prompting the homeowner to call the police out of fear for his safety.

 

Pol. Lt. Kamnueang Chuayphet of the Mueang Phatthalung Police Station responded to the distress call. Upon arrival, officers found the man, later identified as 30-year-old Mr. Jame, still loitering outside the house. Armed with a pole and a taser, officers cautiously approached and convinced him to surrender.

 

Mr. Jame, whose house is adjacent to the victim’s, was carrying a large, 30-centimetre machete. He surrendered to the police without resistance but appeared dazed and confused. Officers noted that his speech was incoherent, and he seemed detached from reality.

 

Further investigation revealed that Mr. Jame has a history of mental illness. His mother confirmed that he had been battling psychiatric issues for some time but consistently refused to seek medical treatment. Despite her repeated efforts to take him to the hospital, he resisted every time.

 

Following the incident, his mother agreed to have Mr. Jame taken to the hospital for treatment and further psychiatric care. Authorities are now coordinating with medical professionals to ensure he receives the necessary support and rehabilitation.
