BANGKOK: -- A bus hijacking incident in central Bangkok led to massive police pursuit and caused considerable damages to both citizens′ vehicles and tollway checkpoints.

Around 21.00 Ayutthaya police received report from Bangkok police units that a suspect has commandeered 34 Bus from Victory Monument, a busy district in the capital city, and was headed for Wang Noi district in Ayutthaya province, smashing the vehicle into many cars and expressway checkpoints.

After giving chase to the bus, the police eventually managed to stop the hijacked vehicle after the suspect rammed into a parked 18 wheeler in Sanub Tuek district. The suspect was described to be in "insane condition", shouting incoherently, when the police apprehended him. He was later identified as Mr. Pumarin Paensomboon, 31, a resident of Supanburi province.

Mr. Pumarin told police he hijacked the bus because he is a superhero from another planet and he needed the bus in order to rescue certain extraterrestrial beings, saving the entire world in the process. The man remained in custody.

Mr. Prasit Suk-in, 55, the driver of the commandeered bus, said when he and the bus conductor were parking the bus at Victory Monument, Mr. Pumarin entered the vehicle and shouted everyone to leave the bus. When Mr. Prasit attempted to apprehend Mr. Pumarin, he said, the suspect fired a slingshot at him.

Though to be fair compared to Chalerms explanations for his actions this guys story is credible.

what ever he was on,

I want some!!

When I saw the headline I thought maybe my ex brotherinlaw from Kentucky had made it to Thailand. After reading the article what a relief.

A barking mad lunatic steals the bus travels considerable distance no one killed or seriously injured....makes you think dosnt it?

what ever he was on,

I want some!!

I think he was on a 34 bus.

Just what the government needed, as an excuse for the missing rice! The warehouses has been robbed by aliens.

They're everywhere

"Man Thinks He Is Superhero, Hijacks Bus To Save 'Aliens'"

In an exclusive interview E.T. stated that after having seen the bus he'd stick to a bicicle!

Sounds like he has schizophrenia or some other such mental illness...

I knew a guy like this once and the problem was not what he was on but what he ran out of. To hide his condition (schizophrenia) he had been getting meds from a private doctor on his own. When he was called to go in the field for the first Iraq war he had no way to get them anymore. After receiving a strange call from the gate guards - we found him down at a navy base - he wanted them to fire on a cell phone tower to stop the CAI mind readers. He had even lined is hat with tin foil - True story. We had seen some strange signs, but we thought he was just fooling around, but that was over the top and he was not kidding.

They're everywhere

NSW Blues supporters?

After seeing the video that katana kindly posted above, all I can say is that I hope this guy gets the help he is clearly in need of and not just left in prison or dumped back on the streets.

ET called, offering handsome reward for return of his misplaced slingshot.

They should hire him to ferry the American sailors through the tuk tuk barricades next time an aircraft carrier docks!

"he needed the bus in order to rescue certain extraterrestrial beings,"

Fair enough too, even i can see the green aliens on the road that the bus driver is pointing to.

At first i thought he was Chalerm

He should have hired a taxi or moto.

It's hard to catch aliens with a bus.

I'm sure this WAS Chalerm

I was hopeful for a while....a nice Thai man extending a helping hand for us farangs....maybe it was a free bus ride for a visa run or 90 day reporting;)

I remember a very similar case in Florida, US when a guy with a handgun hijacked a bus ordering the driver to go to Cuba...

This sounds like it would've been the most videotapeworthy event in the history of humankind.
