On June 27, a man in Baoding, Hebei Province, drove into another man and hit a tree. The outflow of this video has attracted heated discussions among public opinion and netizens.
According to the villagers, a man who drove a car did not know why he overturned the garbage can on the street, and was found by a man riding an electric car passing by, and stepped forward to say a few words to the man, and the man had an argument with him, and the man threatened: You wait, I will drive you to death. The man riding an electric car, seeing that the situation was not good, rode away. But he didn't go far before he heard the crash and saw that the man's car had hit a tree. But the man riding the tram did not expect, the man got off the car and picked up a knife and came to him. The neighbor revealed that the man who was driving the car had some mental problems and behaved abnormally.
Zheng Chunwei, secretary of the party committee of Cuizhuang Town, said that the person who drove into the person had a verbal altercation with the person who was hit, and then drove into the person, and he did not hurt anyone after entering the house with a knife, and the man who hit the person had been sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment, and the person who hit was slightly injured.
The local police have since intervened, but may not be severely punished due to the man's mental problems.
Medical experts remind you what you should do when you encounter a mentally ill person?
1. Be calm and friendly. Not all mentally ill people are aggressive, and most of the time, they are just immersed in their own world. If you encounter someone mentally ill, try to stay calm and friendly and don't panic or act aggressively.
2. Avoid irritating them. Try to avoid engaging in behaviors that may irritate the mentally ill, such as ridiculing, imitating, or insulting them. Respect their feelings and needs and provide support and help as much as possible. Seek professional help.
3. If you find that the behavior of a mentally ill person is dangerous or intrusive, or they themselves are in danger, you should promptly report to the police or seek help from a professional organization.
When encountering a sick person, you should also pay attention to your own safety.
