Samed police in Muang Chonburi were called after a woman at a coin-op launderette fought back against a man who was apparently trying to steal from her shop.

 

It was caught on CCTV.

 

A man arrived around 5.30 pm yesterday on a motorcycle. He was wearing shorts and a black top and was looking about himself waiting for the coast to be clear.

 

He suddenly attacked 41 year old Chonthicha by grabbing her neck in his left hand while holding a knife in his right, reported Siam Rath.

But she fought back and received stab wounds to her neck, head and back as well as her arm.

 

She was taken to Chonburi Hospital.

 

Her father Wanchai, 66, said he was not aware of any connection between the man and his daughter.

He said it was good that his daughter had managed to keep her composure and call after the attack to get help. 

 

Police said that it appeared that robbery was the motive and when the lady fought back the assailant fled. 

 

Investigations continue.

Must be desperate, only a few 100 baht in those shops

Never wash your dirty laundry in public

I have made note of the lottery numbers.

Come on have some self respect as a criminal and at least knock over a 7-11 or Family Mart.....You will get 4-5,000 baht minimum...

This is very concerning, we have had a few 'crazed'  type attacks and robbery attempts in the last few weeks. Is it people under the influence of modern day drugs?

Easily found cheap drugs and a mental unbalance .. seems many in Thailand are this way now.

He as a very distinct face, very blurred will recognise him anywhere.

His shirt is my favourite number too.

Aperhaps a desperate drug addict who doesn't hesitate to do anything.

Where is the reference to drugs? I do not see it.

Not a Beautiful Launderette 

Drugs, jilted lover. whatever. End result is the same.

Not a Napoleon of crime, as Sherlock Holmes would put it,

robbing a laundrette where the cash you are going to get

would be minimal and all in coins,  so it's 69 come in .

The shorts will make it easy to find him..

it should be a crime to dress like he does.

He will be in an orange outfit soon enough, with chains.

Saw the unedited video. That man deserves death penalty... Actually, don't even bother with the courts. Just execute him.
