Abstract
In their recent letter, Chaichian et.~al. present a Lagrangian for a massive () point particle on the plane, with which they claim to realize anyon statistics. However, we find that there are some inaccuracies in their formulation and, when these are taken care of, well-known results are reproduced, which already exist in the literature.
