The incident happened at about 11.55am after the Sattahip Police Station radio centre received reports of a robber breaking glass at a gold shop in Moo 6, Sattahip district. Police officers, investigators, traffic police and local administrative officials arrived heavily armed within minutes because they believed an armed robbery was underway.
When officers entered the shop, they found Taweesak lying injured in a pool of blood inside the premises. Rescue workers provided first aid before transferring him to Sattahip Hospital for treatment. Shop employees were reportedly left shaken by the incident.
Investigators later reviewed CCTV footage from inside the shop. According to Pol Lt Col Kriangkrai Meesaeng, deputy superintendent of investigations at Sattahip Police Station, the footage showed Taweesak entering the store and saluting staff before mistakenly walking into a side glass panel, believing it was an open exit door.
The impact shattered the glass and caused the serious injury to his wrist. Police confirmed there was no robbery attempt and no threat to the shop or staff beyond the accidental damage.

Pol Capt Kosol Sila said officers had reached the scene less than three minutes after the emergency call due to the seriousness of the initial report. Authorities have recorded the incident in the daily police log as evidence and plan to speak with the gold shop owner regarding compensation for the damaged glass.
Khaosod reported that after medical treatment, Taweesak will reportedly undergo a drugs test and police background check. Officers said legal action could follow if any offences are discovered during the investigation.
