Mr. Pratchaya Uppara, 41, a
local volunteer, said when he was patrolling the area he spotted the man walking out of nowhere with
large brick in his hand. Mr. Pratchaya said the man looked very angry, then he threw the stone at
nearby tourists, but missed twice, so the volunteer called the police.

Police say the suspect
was still drunk when the police interrogated him, claiming that he has parents overseas and that he
had been in Pattaya for 3 days for travel when he lost his luggage. The man told police he filed the
report but no action was taken so he came very stressed.

The police detained the suspect at
the police station to wait for him to sober up.
