Overstaying Chinese tourist arrested for throwing 

By The Nation

 

 

A Chinese tourist has been arrested for overstaying his visa and allegedly throwing bricks from a pedestrian overpass, hitting two vehicles.

 

Liu Zhihong, 50, was arrested by officers from Lumpini police station on Tuesday. Police checked their database and found that he was wanted on an arrest warrant issued by the Taling Chan court on August 28.

 

Metropolitan police chief Pol Lt-General Sanit Mahathavorn went to interrogate Liu at the police station Wednesday.

 

Sanit told reporters that Liu admitted that he threw four bricks from pedestrian overpass near the Pin Klao Bridge on August 17 at 5 pm, hitting two vehicles.

 

He was arrested that day and he agreed to pay Bt5,000 in compensation to the owner of a car whose windshield was broken.

 

But on August 18, a second victim, Sakhon Chantha, filed a complaint with police to seek compensation from Liu for Bt20,000 for the repair of his pickup truck. This time, Liu refused to pay on grounds that he did not have any money. Police released him on bail and he disappeared until he was re-arrested by Lumpini police.

 

Liu told police via an interpreter that he was told by a voice in his head to throw four bricks from the overpass. Sanit said police would send the man to see a psychiatrist.

Only one, that is a small matter in Thailand in most cases

Things like this can quickly become all the rage with people who have nothing better to do. Back in the late 70's it was happening almost daily in downtown areas of the US, eventually pretty much every freeway pedestrian walkway had to be caged in. Still feel a bit nervous going under these things when there's no cage.
