Police have announced the arrest of a 31 year old Chacherngsao man who has admitted to being the man responsible for kicking a four year old boy in the neck in the street in Ramkhamhaeng, Bangkok.

Asked why he did it he said he was stressed and tired and just fancied kicking the kid for no reason.

Somsak Na-Udom also known as Bangroon was identified as the likely culprit after creating trouble at the railway station in Chacherngsao.

He was arrested and taken back for questioning by Hua Mark police.

Police discovered that he had been treated on several occasions for mental illness at Somdej Chao Phraya 3 hospital. They are trying to ascertain the exact nature of his illness.

Meanwhile the grandmother took the four year old child to the police station to make an identification.

Bangroon has previous convictions for criminal damage in Lat Prao in 2014 and trespass in Minburi in 2016, said police who have detained the suspect as they obtain reports on his mental condition.
