A Thai man known only as "Tee", high on metamphetamine drugs and covered in his own blood after cutting himself in a rage, takes 19-year-old university student Patcharapan Tiyawanich hostage in a siege which lasted over three hours before police overpowered him and freed the girl in central Bangkok August 29, 2002. Thai authorities estimate that around 700 million methamphetamine pills flood Thailand annually, a cheap but strong drug widely used among laborers and truck drivers to help work long hours but whose side effects include paranoia and violent behavior.
