Dessert vendor saves woman on footbridge in Pattaya
In a heart-stopping moment near Pattaya City School 7, a dessert vendor witnessed a young woman teetering perilously close to the edge of a footbridge along Sukhumvit Road yesterday.
Whilst en route to Sattahip, the vendor, 46 year old Pradit Yoosawad, halted his vehicle without hesitation and alerted authorities to the unfolding crisis.
Pradit approached the distressed woman, urging her away from the brink of danger while calling for assistance from the Pattaya City Police. Despite the efforts of concerned citizens who halted their vehicles to caution her, the woman’s resolve to remain on the edge heightened distress among onlookers.
In a pivotal moment, an unidentified citizen stepped forward, guiding the woman to safety and averting disaster. Identified as 24 year old Wannipha (last name withheld), she was safely retrieved from the bridge thanks to the vigilant citizen’s intervention.
Although disoriented and unable to provide coherent details of the incident, subsequent inquiries led police to Wannipha’s residence. Officers ensured her safe return home, entrusting her care to neighbours with instructions to monitor her well-being and prevent further incidents, reported Pattaya Mail.
The Pattaya City police commended Pradit’s swift and selfless actions, alongside the courageous intervention of the unidentified citizen, which undoubtedly prevented a potential tragedy from unfolding.
