Human Factors; Procedure
I was working multiple positions when I heard local 1 instruct Aircraft X to make a right 360. I looked at Aircraft X and observed aircraft turn right in to Aircraft Y. It appeared that Aircraft Y had to take evasive action to avoid Aircraft X. To my knowledge neither aircraft made a statement on the frequency. It appeared that the aircraft came within 300 to 400 feet of each other.I believe a complete review by outside sources of this event is warranted. This is not the first issue for this individual recently. The controller has made statements of problems at home and fatigue.
A Tower Controller reported of an NMAC. Local Controller turned one aircraft towards another aircraft making the second aircraft take evasive actions to avoid turning aircraft. Reporter wanted this to be looked at and stated it was due to the Local Controller having issues relating to home and fatigue.
