Pattaya —
A Thai man who reportedly has had prior psychiatric issues and was recently in rehab suddenly ran amok and wreaked havoc inside his house in Pattaya last night.
The man clad only in dark leggings was destroying his property inside his house on Soi Paniad Chang in Central Pattaya when the Pattaya police arrived at 6 PM on Tuesday, November 15th.
Ten officers equipped with iron rods and tasers blocked the front gate of the house and tried to verbally calm the unidentified man down but failed. The man, who was in apparent psychosis, then started to go on a rampage and smash things again, forcing the officers to step up their measures by using a taser.
Unfortunately, the taser also failed to subdue the man, thus officers needed to move in on him and used iron rods to immobilize him. The disruptive man eventually calmed down after 40 minutes.
Police asked the man’s friend about his behavior and were told the man used to suffer from a mental issue four years ago. The unnamed friend said he thought the man was better recently but blamed several habits for causing his behavior, such as smoking cannabis and watching violent news clips. TPN notes this is the opinion of the friend and not a licensed medical diagnosis.
The names of those involved in the incident were withheld by police due to the sensitivity of the situation.
Pattaya police coordinated with Banglamung Hospital to take the man into their care and find the exact cause of his psychosis.
