A Finnish man who assaulted himself repeatedly with a knife, inflicting bloody cuts, was overpowered and then taken to hospital, in Pattaya early Tuesday morning.
Pattaya police and rescuers went to an apartment building in Soi Bua Khao about 3.36am, responding to reports of a frenzied foreigner loudly assaulting himself inside his room. Other residents of the building were unnerved by his actions.

A security guard opened the door and police overpowered the man.
There were blood stains on the floor and the man had knife wounds to his face and right shoulder.
