Nopparat denied this and said "look at your dashcam". 

 

He was repeatedly hit and only the intervention of a fellow rider saved him from worse injury.

 

Then the pick-up driver retrieved a two foot long Sparta knife and Nopparat started filming for evidence purposes.

 

The driver fled the scene.

 

Nopparat reported the matter to the Muang district police who said that today he should go to the police station to sort out the matter with the assailant.

If the driver fled after Nopparat started filming on his phone, how did the phone get smashed?
