Quarrel over a scratch leaves one dead, 2 injured at Bangkok liquor store

By THE NATION

 

 

One person died and two were injured in a knife attack at a Bangkok liquor store at dawn today (August 25).

 

On being alerted to a fight at the store in Don Muang district’s Soi Wat Weruwanaram 15, police rushed to the scene to find three people injured from knife wounds – Itthiphol Subsomboon, 46, Sophon Khamjaroen, 25, and Phattharaphol Saengrudee, 30. Officers also found four knives in the area along with shards of broken glass.

 

Itthiphol reportedly had four cut wounds on his chest and other parts of his body and was in critical condition. Rescue staff tried to resuscitate him but he later succumbed to his wounds.

 

Sophon suffered from such a large, deep cut in his stomach that his intestines could be seen spilling out. He was rushed to Bhumibol Hospital and is now in a stable condition. Phattharaphol’s right hand was cut and his head injured. He was rushed under police escort to Mongkutwattana General Hospital.

 

Shop owner Atchawarat Thawornthong, 43, reportedly told officers Phattharaphol had come to buy some liquor. Seeing a scratch on Phattharaphol’s face, Itthiphol, who was drinking with other customers in front of the shop, asked him what happened.

 

“Phattharaphol said he got injured in a fight, but Itthiphol said it was more likely the wound came from crashing his motorcycle, and then suggested Phattharaphol should go home and ‘sleep it off’,” shop owner Atchawarat said.

 

“Phattharaphol then disappeared and around five minutes later came back and attacked Itthiphol with a knife, while others including Sophon tried to stop him and got injured as a result.”

 

Another witness, who is an acquaintance of Phattharaphol, said he and Itthiphol did not know each other before the incident.

 

Police are interviewing witnesses and reviewing CCTV footage to find the exact cause of the fighting.

Four knives? Wow, how lucky that everyone was walking around with a knife. Oh, sorry. I forgot, Phattharaphol had to go home after one. ????????????

I can count to potato

A rare case of everyone bringing a knife to a knife fight.

Loss of face. No joke intended. He said was a fight wound, the other guy drinking in front of the store with buddies said motorcycle crash belittling him somewhat as mocking him to go home and sleep, the other guy got a knife and showed him he was a scrapper..

Only in Thailand. 

well .... lucky no one had a gun 

Dumb and dumber ! ????
