Authorities have issued a statement addressing a viral video of an intense confrontation at a petrol station, in which a hot-headed young man and his father were apprehended.

 

The incident occurred on Sunday in Prachinburi province, Thailand, and involved the father of the young man attempting to obstruct police during the arrest. The youth was charged with two offences, while the father was charged with obstructing law enforcement and property damage.

 

The video, shared on the ‘Jae Moy V+’ page, depicts several police officers arresting a motorcyclist at a petrol station in Si Maha Phot district. The incident took place on Sunday at around 9.15am. The police, led by Sub Lt. Samhak Boonprakrong, Deputy Chief of Si Maha Phot Police Station, had been informed about an unregistered motorcycle with loud exhaust and modifications resembling racing vehicles being driven on public roads.

 

When officers tried to stop the vehicle for inspection at the Kok Khwang intersection, the motorcyclist refused to stop and instead entered the PTT petrol station in Kok Khwang. The police then followed and requested the biker, identified as Suwit, to stop for inspection. Suwit was driving a white and red Yamaha motorcycle without a registration plate. It was revealed that Suwit was using his father’s bike to refuel before going on a trip.

Whoever writes these headlines needs to take an English Language Course.  It should read "Heated Controntation at Petrol Station....."  C'mon Guys, stop just copying and pasting data.

A bit dodgy in a fuel station though.

Should have also arrested the interfering woman for obstructing an arrest.

If you feel that strongly about it then why not send your feedback directly to The Thaiger as it was them that wrote/approved the headline.
