A Thai national was apprehended in Pattaya in the small hours of this morning, following reports of his erratic behaviour and an attempted assault on a local officer. The incident was reported to the Pattaya City Special Affairs Radio Centre at six minutes past midnight, leading to the immediate dispatch of officers to the scene, located at the entrance of the Father Ray Foundation on Sukhumvit Road’s flyover.

Upon their arrival, the officers found a Thai individual, whose name remains undisclosed, displaying erratic behaviour and uttering nonsensical statements. The man, speculated to be in his 30s or 40s, was dressed in a football shirt and shorts.

During the struggle to subdue him, he reportedly attempted to stab an officer with a sharp instrument. Subsequently, he was taken into custody and escorted to the Pattaya Police Station to pacify.
