Video: That's attempted murder! Online hunt for motorcycle taxi driver who kicked out

 

Thai caption is : Kicked out and fled the scene

 

Netizens were screaming "attempted murder" after a motorcycle taxi rider was caught kicking a man and a woman off their vehicle on the Rangsit to Nakorn Nayok Road. 

 

Helmet cam footage posted on Facebook by "Narong Buakhem" showed the incident (at 0.48 seconds) and the aftermath. 

 

The taxi rider had a female student on the back and for reasons unknown kicks out at the other vehicle. 

 

Onliners said that no matter what led up to this incident this was a case of attempted murder. It was lucky that cars coming from the rear did not run over them, said people in comments.

 

The helmet cam man contacted by Sanook declined to comment further saying that the case was now in the hands of the police. 

 

The date on the footage indicated that the incident happened on Monday.

Should be charged if they ever find him .

[JamJar]

Hopefully he is put in prison....and has to pay compensation.

Didn't a cop do something similar the other day?

I’d say the rider and driver are very lucky people. The outcome could have been 100 times worse. 

And very nice to see so many people assisting them. 

[mike787]

Welcome Thailand.  It's just normal here.  Nothing new.

[canopus1969]

Good that people stopped and helped

Argh, looks like the good old 'saving face' trait once again. 

[Tarteso]

Totally agreed with Darwin.

No.

Nasty thing to do. Maybe an ex-girlfriend.

As said, hope the clown is found.

Yes. 

No. 

Try watching the video more carefully.  The police officer does not kick him off, he drops the bike unassisted.  At the time of his falling there is no contact at all between them, none.

[sweatalot]

watching this video archaic ideas pop up again, like sharia and heavy whipping in public every week for 2 years, taking all his posessions away and give it to his victims, cut off his leg so he cannot do it again - send him to the Saudis

Sorry for that, cannot help

I watched the video and it's exactly as the original poster described.

 

Better luck next time.

Police do this all the time. They have grabbed my clutch, brake levers, many pile on the front of my big bike and had one cop kick my front wheel which shouldnhave thrown us off but i can ride and a bunch stronger than tighty browny boys. thankfully i dont live in bkk anymore where this just used to happen unprovoked.

Its not attempted murder anyway. 

 

[pkspeaker]

They will find him if the other motorbike taxi's or his passenger turn him in.  We don't know what provoked the attack, obviously the taxi felt that the other motorbike had done something ..

You are right that the cops boot did not make contact on the bike rider, he just dropped it, but the cops intention was to make contact...

Sad

[NightSky]

Hope they get that taxi driver he need to be punished and taught a lesson, he could have killed those two kids.

 

Feel sorry for the two injured but good show of others stopping to help, well done.

[Benmart]

Orange vested taxi drivers are one group that I distrust and avoid. The Pattaya species is particularly distasteful.

[CharlieH]

Could it be a defensive move rather than attack ? hard to see in the video,  maybe the one was riding too close and he reacted ? possible ?

The officer did make kicking attempts, but the fall was not caused by one. The rider lost control while failing to negotiate his left turn onto the side road. The difference better the 2 videos is one deserved it and the other probably not.

The original poster said both stories were similar. Meaning both police officer and motorcycle taxi driver tried to kick someone off their bikes. Whether or not they connected their kicks or made made contact and knocked them off is a different story. 

 

Kicking out at people’s bikes is extremely dangerous and could most certainly lead to people’s deaths.

Absolutely, the Camry driver had a good view of the accident and did well to pull up.. lots of assistance & the helmet cam provides good evidence. I hope the passenger on the taxi bike comes forward to give the police some help... if she has a conscience.

[jamesy9368]

A few years ago I saw a policeman kick a Russian man and women of a motorbike going up Pratumnak hill by the pier turn off. He was standing trying to give out the fake fines next minute kicked out at a passing bike blood everywhere.

I was amazed I never read more about it.

Sad

and the cop was  right to do so because that driver fled police - making him suspect

[Baerboxer]

Rangsit - Nakhon Nayak road - cowboy country!

 

Insurance company agent told me never to argue with any driver there - too many carry weapons and will use them. Leave it to insurance company.

 

See accidents on that road almost daily. Usually more than one a day.

What I find hilarious is these mutts wear their rented vests like a badge of honour 24/7 ,and even more hilarious is some locals actually think they are an elite group ....ELITE 5555
