The incident occurred at around 8:30am yesterday (July 9), while Pol Sgt Thanakrit Kodi and Pol Sgt Nattawich Kaewprom were on patrol in Wichit.
The officers noticed a young woman sitting on the roadside next to a parked motorcycle and stopped to check on her. They discovered that the scarf she had worn ‒ as part of dressing up to make merit ‒ had become caught in the rear wheel of the bike, causing a minor accident.
The officers promptly assisted her by removing the tangled fabric, allowing her to continue on her way. They also issued a warning to others to be cautious of loose clothing, especially when riding motorcycles, as it can easily become trapped in moving parts and lead to serious injury or worse.
Wichit Police Superintendent Pol Col Somsak Thongkliang commended the two officers for their attentiveness and quick response.
“This shows that our officers are not indifferent when they see someone in trouble ‒ whether Thai nationals, foreign visitors or migrant workers. They act immediately and without hesitation, regardless of the size of the incident,” he said.
