This man would extort money from villagers at 4 am every day and becam e famous throughout the Pracha Uthit area because many villagers were affected. Until a Facebook user posted on the Rat Burana - Pracha Uthit (Thung Khru) news page with the following message: Warning of a dangerous person asking for money from people waiting for the bus on Pracha Uthit Road. At 4 am, my mother had to board the bus alone. A man walked up to her and asked for money, holding a pocket knife. He said he wanted money, but my mother said he didn't have any. Luckily, the bus came just in time. Then today at around 4 am, my mother went to wait for the bus to go to work as usual. She met this man again. He raised his foot and kicked my mother. My mother quickly walked away and called me, so I hurriedly went out with my friends. When we went out, we found him in front of the alley. He clasped his hands together and apologized, saying he wouldn't do it again. Incidents like this occur almost every day because many victims are extorted for money by this man regularly. It is also known that most of the p erpetrators choose only the elderly. The perpetrator claims that he has no home or job, so he goes around asking for money. He insists that he does not threaten or hurt anyone. As for the knife he carries, he only uses it to peel fruit. Initially, the police took the perpetrators for further questioning at the police station. If any members of the public have been robbed or threatened by Mr. Thanakorn or Mr. Ice, they can file a complaint at Rat Burana Police Station.
