A man with record for mental illness was arrested Monday for the second time for throwing faeces at the Democrat Party headquaters protesting for inaction to stop the police radio communications which he said causing his headache.
Witnessed by about 10 policemen on guarding duty, Surachai Kerddee, 45, walked to the statue of Earth Goddess at the party's shrine and threw the bag filled with excrement.
"I once complained to the prime minister about the annoying police radio frequency but it went unheeded," he said in his statement following the arrest.
Surachai vowed to stage the third excrement attack if there was no action taken to address his plight.
In his previous arrest in March, he was convicted for disorderly conduct and sentenced for fiveday detention and a fine of Bt1,000.
Democrat spokesman Buranaj Smutharaks said he was surprised for the repeated offence regardless of the tightened security measures.
"The party ground is an open area, making it difficult to ensure a foolproof security," he said.
A team of 10 cleaners were seen washing and sanitising the scene of attack following the incident.
