Mentally Unstable Man Jumps on Car, Smashes Windshield in Khon Kaen

The car owner opens up about the moment a mentally unstable man jumped onto the hood of the car, admitting fear and worry of being harmed. Not intending to press charges against the perpetrator, urging relevant agencies to take him for treatment. On October 26, 2026, reporters followed up on the incident where a 26-year-old man jumped onto the roof of a civilian's car until the front windshield was completely shattered, before climbing onto a passing pickup truck on the Ban Thum-Phra Yun road in front of Phimphayawit School, Ban Wha Subdistrict, Mueang District, Khon Kaen Province. The 59-year-old car owner took reporters to see the damage, finding the front windshield completely shattered. The owner pointed out the damage clearly and revealed to reporters that on the day of the incident, they were traveling to a meeting in Khon Kaen at about 60-80 km/h. When reaching the incident point, they noticed a white car ahead gradually slowing before braking suddenly. The owner, driving behind, didn't know what happened so stopped as well, and not hearing any collision sound, intended to get out to check if the front car was damaged to talk. But upon opening the door and looking up, found a man in a gray shirt on the roof of that car before he jumped forcefully onto the front of the owner's car, causing shock and surprise, never expecting such an incident or that the windshield would shatter completely. Initially intending to get out to lock the door and stand with bystanders for safety and help, but feeling unsafe, decided to get back in and start the car. At that moment, the man moved to sit on the front right side of the car, right in front of the owner, leaving them unsure what to do. After starting the car, the man got down and stood on the road staring at the owner before running to another vehicle as seen in the video clip. The owner thanked the person who filmed the incident as it provided evidence of what happened. After leaving the scene, the owner went to the meeting and then filed a report at Mueang Khon Kaen Provincial Police Station, but was told the location fell under Ban Pet Provincial Police Station jurisdiction, so went there instead. During the incident, the owner felt indescribable fear, not knowing what the man would do, having only seen him on the other car's roof and never expecting him to jump onto their car. The owner didn't scream or make a scene, didn't take photos or record the event. The man also didn't make loud noises or show other behavior, only staring. However, the owner admits to inner worry that getting out might provoke the man to attack, but seeing no weapons, chose to stay quiet and drive away. As the car moved, the man backed away. Later learning the man had mental health issues, the owner wants responsible agencies to care for him and get him treatment so his condition improves and such incidents don't recur, not wanting anyone else to suffer. The owner confirms no intention to press charges, considering the man a patient, and hopes he recovers fully. The victim also said if a serious accident had occurred, such as the man getting injured while the owner was driving, the owner would have been in trouble too. Regarding the vehicle damage this time, the owner did not specify further.
