Thai man causes commotion at busy Bangkok intersection (video)

A Thai man in a red shirt caused a commotion at Pathumwan Intersection, Bangkok, verbally assaulting drivers and raising his hand as if to strike a car.

The incident, which occurred yesterday, September 24, was captured and shared on TikTok by user @nin_slamboys. The footage shows a man dressed in a red shirt with a cross-body bag, aggressively confronting vehicles at the intersection, creating a dangerous situation for road users.

In the video, the Thai man can be seen approaching a parked van, shouting at its driver, and gesturing wildly before the van drives away. He then continues his erratic behaviour, targeting another car, raising his fist as if to punch the vehicle but ultimately refrains from any physical altercation. This series of events left many onlookers and drivers alarmed due to the potential risk of accidents and harm to innocent bystanders.

Social media users quickly reacted to the video, with many questioning the absence of police intervention. Despite the proximity of a nearby police booth, there appeared to be no law enforcement presence to address the disruptive behaviour.

“Where are the police? There’s a booth right there; surely someone must have seen this.”

Many users on TikTok and other social media platforms shared their thoughts and experiences, with some recounting similar incidents where police presence was lacking. This incident has sparked a broader discussion about public safety, the role of law enforcement, and the need for better monitoring of busy intersections to prevent such situations from escalating, reported KhaoSod.
