A report on an incident where a police officer apprehended a motorcyclist driving against traffic on a sidewalk, leading to a fall.

The incident sparks a debate: was the officer's action justified to stop a traffic violation, or was it excessive force?

The incident occurred in Soi Thianทะเล 8, Bang Khun Thian, Bangkok. The officer involved is identified as Sergeant Niti.

A witness, Ms. Bee, describes seeing the police officer approach the motorcyclist after the motorcyclist failed to stop when signaled.

CCTV footage from 5:14 PM shows Sergeant Niti observing the situation before the motorcyclist approaches the incident location.

Lieutenant Colonel Ittiphan Hawech, Traffic Inspector of Tha Kham Police Station, explains that Sergeant Niti attempted to stop the motorcyclist, who did not comply, leading to the incident.

Sergeant Niti claims he used his hand to block, not push, the motorcyclist, who was speeding and lost balance due to the collision.

The motorcyclist faces charges for driving against traffic and on the sidewalk, and has paid a fine.

While the motorcyclist paid the fine, the public is divided on whether the police action was excessive. The police will investigate further.
