Donations continue to pour into a bank account, opened by a supporter of the man who attacked Srisuwan Janya yesterday, to be used for his legal defence.

 

The man, 62-year-old Veerawich Rungruangsiriphol, physically assaulted Srisuwan as he was giving an interview to the media prior to submitting a petition to police at the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), seeking to take legal action against stand-up comedian Udom Taephanich for allegedly inciting public protests.

 

Veerawich was arrested in the car park of Channel 3 TV on Rama 4 Road today (Wednesday), as he was about to appear on the popular program “Hone Krasae”. He was then escorted to the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) for questioning.

Soon to be famous for singlehandedly engaging in hand to hand (with a few kicks) combat! Veerawich, remember the name!

Any opportunity to make money is quickly snapped up by those quick enough to see it.

Its easy to get lost in this nuthouse of who's suing who and for what ????

It was a very ineffectual 'assault'. Should have found a couple of French blokes to lend a hand. 

 

That said, Veerawich isn't wearing a mask! They must be terrified of him.
