BANGKOK - The man caught in a road-rage video yelling at a group of people and firing three threatening gunshots turned himself in at Bang Kaen Police on Thursday night.

Sgt Maj Nantawat Chainsom, 49, admitted that he was the man in the video and also gave up the pistol that he used in the incident, a report said.

He told the police that while he was driving that day another car in front of him was straddling two lanes and obstructing him. He signalled the vehicle to give way by flashing his lights on high beam, but the driver did not comply.

Give Sergeant Major Nantawat a decent break. This man is a professional soldier trained in handling firearms. His intent wasn't to harm anyone. It's his job to protect all of you civilians and that can be a stressful job. The fact is, he didn't shoot anyone. Give him his weapon back and stop making a mountain out of a mole-hill. We're all human and most of all we're not perfect.

A few years in jail just might give him time to recover from the infection of road rage.
