In a bizarre and downright hair-raising episode straight out of a horror-comedy, a German man has finally been captured after embarking on a terrorizing biting spree in Korat, bringing chaos through dental clinics and leaving the city utterly stunned. Matthias Ebner, now infamously dubbed the “Dental Menace” in Nakhon Ratchasima province, has etched his name in local lore for unleashing a wave of extraordinary antics that even Rambo would find hard to believe. But alas, the reign of dental dread has come to an end—the rampaging foreigner was finally apprehended yesterday after a thorough investigation brought police directly to his hiding spot.
The saga began with Ebner crafting a legacy of destruction that would leave even the sturdiest incisors trembling in their roots. Known for pouncing upon unsuspecting dental clinics with the agility of a panther and the fervor of a sugar-crazed child, Ebner left a path of terrified dentists in his wake. For those unfortunate enough to be in his bite radius, the nightmare was all too real. In cases as recent as last November, Ebner allegedly stormed into clinics and destroyed property, further escalating the horror by physically assaulting female dentists. Topping off his unhinged rampage, he once banged a dentist’s head against a wall and, in a nightmarish crescendo, bit her lip.
March 18th turned out to be a fortunate day for justice seekers and Korat’s beleaguered dentists. At about 5 PM, a real-life police drama unfolded as Cho Ho Police officers, pungent with determination, cornered Ebner skulking in the parking lot of Klang Villa shopping mall. The German molar marauder was seemingly poised for yet another daring escape when officers armed with a warrant (issued by the Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Court) swooped in just in time to end his tumultuous tale.
Picture a bull, snorting in a crowded pottery store, with his horns set on the exit door—that was Ebner in his getaway vehicle, ready to blaze through the law as before. Fortunately, fate had other plans. Police presented him with irrefutable evidence that left him no choice but to concede his wild misdeeds. The 46-year-old was subsequently whisked away to Cho Ho Police Station, bringing to a halt months of dental dismay that had plagued the city like a toothache during an ice cream binge.
In the swirling aftermath, Ebner’s Thai wife revealed a backstory hotter than a pot of boiling water: his history of erratic behavior wasn’t just a Korat phenomenon; he had similar bouts in his German hometown. But faced with the offer of professional help, Ebner chose to self-medicate with marijuana, trekking a path of denial that culminated in his notorious antics in Thailand.
At the police station, officers—ensuring no details slipped through the cracks—coordinated with local immigration police and a German interpreter. Documentation of Ebner’s actions was thorough, setting the stage for justice to work its course. For the traumatized dental community, this arrest is a sigh of relief; it’s the moment they’ve been dreaming of—a time when the nightmares could drift away and peace could finally fill the air.
In the wake of this tenacious capture, Nakhon Ratchasima is ready to leave behind the gnawing anxiety brought on by the “Dental Menace.” As the man himself faces the full force of the law, the hope is that dental peace—once sorely lacking—will again crown the city, much like a long-lost crown returning to its rightful place.

This is one of the wildest stories I’ve ever read. A man going on a biting spree? It’s almost comical.
As a dentist, it’s not funny at all. It’s terrifying to think about someone barging into your practice with violent intentions.
I can’t imagine living in fear like that. I’m sorry if I downplayed its seriousness. Just so bizarre!
In Germany, we also have our share of odd cases, but this takes the cake!
It’s concerning that his behavior went unchecked for so long. Where were the authorities?
Agreed. The system failed, and it’s lucky he was caught before things got even worse.
I think it also highlights the stigma around mental health and self-medicating problems.
Isn’t it interesting how these bizarre stories often involve foreigners? It must be a cultural misunderstanding.
It’s not about cultural misunderstanding. It’s about a personal issue that wasn’t managed properly.
Cultural miscommunication can be part of it, but this goes deeper into personal issues and perhaps legal gaps.
Why was marijuana his go-to medication? It’s like he chose chaos over clarity.
People sometimes self-medicate when they’re looking for relief but don’t know how to get help properly.
Matthias obviously needed help, not jail time. I hope he finds it now, though his actions were inexcusable.
Justice needs to be served, but part of that should be getting him psychological help.
The end of his ‘reign of terror’ should be a lesson to implement better mental health checks for expats.
Can you imagine having that kind of headline attached to your name forever? It’s a tragic twist.
True, but he created that story. He should have sought help instead of creating havoc.
This event must have turned local dental clinics into mini-fortresses. I hope the staff gets the support they need.
His wife’s revelations put things into perspective. Looks like this was a ticking time bomb from the start.
Nakhon Ratchasima can breathe easy now, but this might affect tourism if not handled carefully.
So bizarre that finding humor in it is almost irresistible, but it’s a serious matter that shines a light on greater issues.
This may make us more cautious, but let’s not forget, strange incidents don’t define our practice or city.
Well said! Let’s focus on healing and raising awareness.
What’s compelling is how someone like this just slips between the cracks until they become a genuine threat.
History shows these unpredictable events will continue. Preparedness is key.
HistProf, you are right. We need more proactive measures, but how do you predict something this wild?
