The Phaholyothin police were told that a woman was standing on the ledge of the bridge and threatening to jump. Police and members the Poh Teck Tung Foundation found the 45-year-old woman standing outside the fence while holding the fence with both hands. Col Chettha Sawangsuk, commander of Phaholyothin police, said the woman sounded confused, like she had a mental-health disorder. She claimed police planted drugs on her and raised a false drugs charge. Police closed the lane below and spent about half an hour trying to convince her to climb back. A policeman and rescuer eventually grabbed her. Chettha said she did not face any drug charges but she had faced three theft charges in 2013. She was sent to a hospital to be evaluated by a psychiatrist before police decided whether to press charges.
