Police in Lampang have defended their operations at a top Thai musician's concert where a man was stabbed in the eye.

 

Footage posted to Facebook showed rivals square up to each other as "Pu" Pongsit Kampee and his band looked on from the stage.

 

The incident happened at the penultimate evening of the "Cool Season Concert - Good Things of Lampang 2018" being held at a downtown sports stadium.

 

Lampang police chief Krissada Phankasem said that he had deployed 40 men on each night of the concert. The man who committed the stabbing had smuggled the knife into the concert in his footwear and so it was not detected. 

 

He was in custody and had been charged with assault and concealing a deadly weapon.

 

In total four people were taken to hospital with injuries after the melee blamed on a revenge attack on Thursday night.

 

The chief promised up-scaled policing at the final performances at the event due to be staged last night when another band popular with young people were due to perform. 

 

The story was reported by 77Jowo with the footage coming from Chotika Sritongtuam.

i see time after time vids of fighting at these concerts, such a shame as 99% go for the music, then you get these jumped up <deleted> spoiling it for everyone, need to throw the book at them

Try 'Lets get fight '  not sure if they are Chinese or Japanese , these girls rock and don't where any clothes . Sometimes on youtube and sometimes it gets taken off.  Take a look ..or not . Very catchy song too. Sounds a lot like ' Let old aquaintance be ...........'

Phua cheewit is not 'rock', nothing unusual at all here, violence at some concerts is almost the norm.

Young men fighting each other has been going on for millions of years. Hopefully, it will continue for millions more because nothing gets done without a fight. Unfortunately, politically correct fascists would like to castrate them.

Yes that made headline news.  It made headline news because it was unprecedented because the stabbing were not directly related.  Gang stabbings (not guns anymore because of the jail time involved with just carrying a gun) are not uncommon in London unfortunately.  Can't really prevent knives being sold and anyway you can get them from your mum's kitchen drawer.

I agree.  Again the acid attacks seem to be pretty much the weapon of choice for the scooter gangs and there have been some by the racists against the Indian community.  Ironic that it has been common place in Central Asia for many years. Let's hope the Thais don't take a liking to it.  It does happen in Thailand and in Cambodia but mainly in domestic situations.

We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in"

It looks like the BiB stood back and let the scenario play out.  Non involvement!

They should just put all these fighters into a fenced up ring and let them rumble. Use it as a sideshow to the concert
