Sanook reported on an incident in Rayong that reached the national news on Thai TV.

 

CCTV from a grocer's opposite the temple of Wat Khot Hin in Nern Phra sub-district of Rayong, eastern Thailand, showed a man milling about.

 

He then entered the grocer's and got owner Samnao, 60, in a headlock and wrestled her to the floor as she was packing shelves.

 

He had a knife.

 

The owner's daughter Taritamon, 33, was alerted to the noise and tried to get the man to stop by hitting him several times with a broom handle.

 

 

He had shouted at her mother: "You started it. You started it",

 

The lady's loud cries also alerted monks from the temple who vaulted a three meter high wall. The assailant gave us as the monks arrived.

 

One monk called Phra Khwanmuang said a man holding a knife passed them as they arrived saying rudely: "She started it".

 

The man disappeared leaving Samnao with several nasty injuries to her body and face.

 

She said she recognised the man from about a year ago.

 

Her son Phudit Klaoklong posted the CCTV on Facebook saying: "Tell me who did this to my mum".

Shaolin monk maybe?? 'Never leave the undefended to face injustice Grasshopper.'

The son just needs to ask his mum who did it. I’m sure she knows, just doesn’t want to say anything.
