A man named Ekkasit has reported an alleged assault by a food delivery rider in Bang Lamung, Chon Buri. The incident, occurring on April 9, began with a misunderstanding over a car horn, leading to a physical altercation. Ekkasit, who was heading to work on Soi Nong Ket Yai, learned of a plastic bag caught in his rear wheel after an elderly couple honked to alert him.

Upon discovering the bag, an aggressive encounter ensued with an unidentified delivery rider. Mistakenly thinking the honk was directed at him, the rider shouted insults and subsequently attacked Ekkasit. Ekkasit reported that, despite attempts to clarify the misunderstanding, the rider dismissed his explanations and taunted him to involve the police.
Ekkasit refrained from fighting back, defending himself only by raising his hands until bystanders intervened. After the incident, Ekkasit experienced dizziness and body pain, prompting his family to take him to the hospital. CCTV footage was also reviewed as part of his police complaint, in which Ekkasit emphasizes the need for patience on the road to prevent future incidents, particularly against vulnerable individuals like women.
In response, Bang Lamung police have initiated efforts to locate the rider for questioning and plan to pursue appropriate legal action. The case underscores ongoing concerns about road rage and the importance of communication and patience among drivers.
