Van driver pulls knife on female passenger then changes his mind

A public van driver in Chonburi threatened a female passenger with a knife and ordered her to stay still before apologizing and then dropping her off yesterday.

Driver Watchara Pirompan, 25, was arrested yesterday after he let the victim go at Kasetsart University in Sriracha district, whereupon she went to police.

It wasn’t clear what Watchara’s intentions were, as he only confessed to pulling out the knife because he was stressed about his life and didn’t know who to talk to, according to police.

The 20-year-old student said she in the passenger’s seat next to the driver and he pulled a knife on her after other passengers had left the vehicle.

Watchara will be charged with abduction, Khaosod reported.
