On April 30, police were called to a 7-Eleven on Soi Pattaya Tai 17 after reports of a foreigner attempting to attack staff and block customers from leaving. Officers arrived to find Mustafa—the same man who had gone viral days earlier for trashing another store in Banglamung—brandishing a liquor bottle and trying to force his way behind the counter.

In the 27 April incident, he was fined 35,000 baht for vandalising goods in a grocery shop. In the latest episode he threatened employees, harassed customers and resisted the police.

Thai social media has erupted with demands for authorities to:
✔ Deport Mustafa immediately
✔ Blacklist him from re-entering Thailand
✔ Investigate possible mental health concerns

Store staff, unaware of his prior arrest, described him as “erratic and aggressive” upon entering. Police later transported him to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation and medical treatment.

While no formal charges have been announced yet, authorities are urging affected parties to file official complaints, suggesting legal action is imminent.

Pattaya Police Statement:
“We recognize the public’s concern. This individual’s repeated violent behavior is unacceptable, and we are assessing all legal options.”
