See what officers did to man who entered police station armed with knife
A video that has since gone viral shows a Thai police officer whose kindness has defused a seemingly dangerous situation.
The incident, according to local reports happened on Saturday, June 17 when a man armed with a huge knife entered the Huay Kwang police station in Bangkok, Thailand. Officer Anirut Malee did something unexpected. He tried to reason with him gently before reaching out for a hug.
He eventually convinces him to hand his knife over, and then walks over to give him a big hug.
After the hug, the assailant is led to a chair where he sits down and appears to be thanking the officer.
“He used to be a musician but had been working as a security guard for three days and had not been paid. On top of this, he had had his guitar stolen and it was all stressing him out,” Mr Malee said of the unnamed assailant, according to Thai Visa News.
“I heard him out and sympathized and said I had a guitar to give him, and suggested we go out for a meal together. We were conversing in Southern Thai dialect.”
The man was sent to a hospital for an evaluation of his mental state, and no charges were filed, according to Thai Visa News.
