Umpire Stops Woman From Committing Suicide Then Works in Stadium With View of Bridge
John Tumpane knew that something was wrong when he saw a woman climbing onto the other side of the bridge rails. His calm support came just in time.
Instead of wrestling to the ground an anonymous attacker last Saturday, this compassionate policeman talked him down, and gave him a big hug.
Most people who are confronted by a knife-wielding stranger aren't able to keep their cool – but Officer Anirut Malee has become the definition of cool.
A desperate man carrying a large blade walked into the Huay Kwang Police Station in Bangkok, Thailand last Saturday.
A desperate man carrying a large blade walked into the Huay Kwang Police Station in Bangkok, Thailand last Saturday.
Rather than arresting the assailant, Malee tosses the knife aside and wraps the man up in a bear hug.
The police officer later explained that the man was a musician and security guard who had fallen on hard times. Though it is unclear as to what he was trying to accomplish with the knife, Malee says that the 46-year-old had just endured the theft of his guitar and withholding of his paycheck for three days, which was "stressing him out".
Malee offered his sympathy, and said that he would give the man his own guitar. They also agreed to go get lunch together sometime.
The man was then taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation. No charges were filed against him.
