The man, later identified as Thakorn (name transliterated from Thai), received first aid before being rushed to Chonburi Hospital.

During questioning, Thakorn said he had ordered Pad Thai at a restaurant and had asked for no chives in his meal. However, when the dish was served, chives were present, leaving him frustrated and upset.

In response, he threw the meal away, but the vendor still demanded payment, sparking a heated altercation that escalated into his erratic behaviour.

Employer shared that man is not a drug addict

Thakorn’s employer, Mr Thanakornpoj (name transliterated from Thai), said the man had left to buy food, and he had no idea what triggered the extreme reaction.

He said he stepped in to calm Thakorn after witnessing him shouting and waving a knife around.

Fortunately, no one else was harmed.

Mr Thanakornpoj emphasised that Thakorn does not take drugs, adding that his bizarre behaviour was baffling.

Police said they will arrest the suspect and investigate further to determine the underlying cause of his actions before proceeding with legal action.
