Robbed with a Banana!!

On August 28th at 21:00, a crazy man was arrested after he tried to rob a woman with a banana near BTS Bangna station.

The police were called to arrest a crazy man who tried to rob a woman while she was walking in an alley not far from BTS Bangna station. The victim, Ms. Noi Pongam age 27, said that the man got close to her from the back and pointed something at her which felt like a gun. "He approached me from the back and I could feel that he was pointing a gun at me," said Noi, "He told me to give him my purse and everything that was on me." Luckily, Mr.Somsak Chinnawat walked by the alley and witnessed the robbery. "I could see that there was something wrong going on, and that alley is very deserted." Mr. Somsak called the police which arrived just 10 minutes later. 

The crazy man was arrested, but no weapon was found on him. "We couldn't find a gun or any kind of weapon on him or nearby even though Ms. Noi confirmed that the man had a gun," said Chief Police Akkasit Wanchai. It took an hour for them to realize what and where the weapon was. "A banana" was found at the scene. "We didn't think it has anything to do with the robbery at first, but when the man saw the banana he just went crazy!" The banana was the weapon.

The man's record was checked. The only thing he had in his record was public decency. He had never hurt anyone for real, at least not with a banana.
