Residents were left stunned in the early hours of 18 May, when a naked foreign man, believed to be aged about 40, escaped from a local hospital and went on a destructive rampage through the city’s Naklua area.

 

At approximately 00:30, officers from Banglamung Police Station were alerted to reports of a foreign national behaving erratically and completely nude near Naklua Soi 9. Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos as the man, armed with a chair and a large stone, wandered the area shouting incoherently and damaging nearby property.

 

Police and rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon Foundation were swiftly deployed to the scene, where they found the man in a highly agitated state. Efforts to calm him proved difficult and he reportedly resisted all attempts at communication or cooperation. The situation escalated as the man threw objects, including stones and furniture, at the officers and rescue team members.

 

According to Mr Kamphon Malison, a rescue volunteer, his team had been initially dispatched to provide assistance to a distressed foreign patient who had fled from a hospital. “When we arrived, he had already broken free from police custody once and continued to flee. He was in a frenzied state, throwing stones and chairs at us,” Mr Malison stated.

 

Authorities spent around 30 minutes attempting to subdue the man, eventually restraining him with great difficulty. He was taken to Banglamung Police Station to calm down, though further details about his condition, nationality, and reasons for hospitalisation have not been disclosed.

 

Fortunately, no injuries were reported despite the man’s violent behaviour. Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the incident and have not yet revealed whether any charges will be brought.

 "Residents were left stunned"

 

I find that hard to believe, as it seems to be a daily occurrence of late

As he was in hospital he might have been drugged up to the nines. He was clearly in a fragile mental state.
