A MAN who allegedly shot at a motorway rescuer and fled the scene in Pathum Thani, causing panic and the closure of 17 schools, has surrendered to police after realising the disruption caused by his actions.
Noparat Jinto, also known as “L”, surrendered at the Pathum Thani Provincial Police Head Office yesterday evening.
During his surrender, Noparat explained that he turned himself in because he realised his escape had caused panic, leading to the closure of many schools.
“I have children of my own, and I never imagined that my actions would cause such a huge disturbance to students,” he said.
He added that he initially went into hiding as he was unsure which police team would handle his arrest. However, after being assured by Khamronwit that he would be taken into custody by Pathum Thani police, he felt safe enough to surrender.
Noparat explained that he opened fire on a motorway rescuer because he had been quarrelling with his wife while driving on the motorway. When the rescuer suddenly opened his vehicle’s door, Noparat assumed his wife had called for help, which led him to act out of anger. — The Nation/ANN
