According to police, the suspect continued behaving aggressively after being transported to the station, shouting loudly and refusing to calm down. Rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation were called to provide first aid after he was found with a laceration above his left eyebrow, with blood covering his face and clothing. Despite treatment, he continued shouting inside the police station.

The victims, identified as Ms Jaja, aged 19 and Ms Palmy, aged 20, told officers they were waiting to enter another entertainment venue when the man approached them. They stated that he hugged and sexually assaulted Ms Jaja by grabbing her buttocks three times. They initially tried to ignore the behaviour, but after the third incident they alerted security staff.

During the intervention, the suspect allegedly became violent, attempting to assault both women by kicking and throwing a glass at them, though he missed. A struggle then broke out between the man and security personnel, resulting in the injuries he later received. The victims confirmed they intend to pursue legal action to the fullest extent, stating they will not tolerate such behaviour regardless of the individual’s status.

Police said they will ensure fairness for both sides and will review CCTV footage from inside the venue as part of the investigation. The suspect remains in custody due to his intoxicated condition and will be formally questioned once he is sober before legal proceedings continue.

Authorities indicated that further charges may depend on evidence gathered, including witness statements and video recordings. The case highlights ongoing concerns about behaviour in nightlife areas and enforcement of public safety laws.
