A nurse tried to restrain the suspect and he threw her to the floor by her hair.

The doctor and a security guard then wrestled the man to the ground as the clip came to an end.

The suspect was found unconscious on a street in Bangkok, Thailand on Wednesday (22 Jan).

He was taken to Sirindhorn Hospital where the attack took place.

The suspect was then sedated by medical staff before being taken to the Udom Suk Police Station.

Police chief Colonel Somsak Iamsuk said the man has so far refused to cooperate with officers and his name and nationality remain unknown.

The police are coordinating with the Immigration Bureau to try to identify him, as reported by Need To Know.

He confirmed that one hospital worker had been injured during the attack.

The suspect faces charges of causing a disturbance at a state facility and physically injuring others.

One local said: “I can’t believe something like this happened in a hospital, is nowhere safe anymore?”

Jenny added: “It’s terrifying.

“Hospitals should be safe havens, and yet people acting like that make it impossible.”
