In a dramatic incident at Ban Mueang Police Station in Sakon Nakhon province, a Thai man named Wisit sustained three gunshot wounds after attempting to assault police officers on May 19. Following the altercation, Wisit was immediately taken to Phra Ajarn Mun Bhuridatto Hospital in Ban Muang District. His current condition remains undisclosed.

 

Wisit arrived at the police station highly intoxicated and agitated. Armed with four knives, he shattered the front glass door and stormed into the complaints room, which fortunately was unoccupied at the time. Determined, he proceeded to the upper floors, attempting to attack officers along the way. However, each officer managed to avoid him and push him out of the building.

 

As Wisit charged at Police Sub-Lieutenant Boontum with hostile intent, Boontum initially discharged a warning shot into the air from his 9mm pistol in an effort to deter him. Undeterred, Wisit continued his aggressive advance, prompting Boontum to fire three shots to subdue him for safety reasons.

 

After Wisit fell to the ground, other officers secured him and facilitated his transfer to the hospital for medical attention. According to the police report, Wisit is known to have a history of mental illness, though the specific triggers for his violent actions remain unclear.

 

This incident highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement in managing situations involving individuals with mental health issues, especially when intoxication is involved. The police are expected to review the circumstances leading to the confrontation to prevent future occurrences and ensure community safety.

Head, head, and heart.  For safety reasons.   Behavior, IMO, went above and beyond crazy.   Freak out in 7-11, maybe it goes leg, leg, arm.
