Crime Gunman Fires Shots into the Air and Takes Hostage in Bangkok
UPDATE Arintharat Commandos Storm House to Arrest ‘Tae Wat Yang’ After 17-Hour Stand-Off Picture courtesy of Matichon. Police have successfully apprehended Natthawat, widely known as “Tae Wat Yang”, in the early hours of the morning of 16 May, following a tense 17-hour stand-off at his residence in Bangkok’s Bang Khun Si district. The arrest operation was led by Police Lieutenant General Samran Nuanma, Assistant Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police, alongside Metropolitan Police Commissioner Police Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom and Deputy Commissioner Police Major General Nopphasin Poolsawat. Officers from the elite Arintharat 26 commando unit were deployed on-site. At approximately 00:15, officers fired a single round at the front door before gaining entry into the house. Inside, Natthawat was found in an exhausted state and was immediately taken into custody and transferred to Bang Khun Non Police Station. Lt. Gen. Samran stated that the extended operation time was necessary due to the suspect being armed and engaging in gunfire with police officers during the initial standoff. The drawn-out negotiations aimed to wear down the suspect’s resistance and avoid escalation. “The operation was carried out according to tactical procedures. After the prolonged stand-off, we entered using minimum force and were able to apprehend the suspect without further incident,” he said. Authorities confirmed that Natthawat will be tested for drug use, with further legal action to follow pending the results. Initially, he faces two serious charges: attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and illegal possession of a firearm. Additional charges related to narcotics will be considered once test results are confirmed. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-16. -
