Gang violence once again rocked the Bangkok community last night after a large group of teenagers used firearms and knives to launch an attack on rivals causing three individuals injury. The violent confrontation occurred on the Suvarnabhumi Canal Road in Bang Phli, Samut Prakan. It is reported that some of the victims had to run for their lives and jumped into the canal to escape.

 

The police, along with Bang Phli rescue workers, arrived to find nearly 20 teenagers gathered, with three of them injured. The wounded consisted of two 21 year olds and a 15 year old, each suffering from knife wounds to the back and arm. Additionally, another individual suffered a gunshot wound to the end of his chin. The wounded were quickly provided with first aid before being transported to Bang Phli Hospital.

 

According to one of the injured’s friends, almost 20 of them were gathered playing by the Suvarnabhumi Canal Road. Suddenly, a group of old rivals, who had prior disagreements, appeared. The enemy group, numbering over 10, arrived on motorcycles and a fight broke out. A gunshot was heard and the group scattered with some of them plunging into the canal, while others scrambled onto the bridge. The attacking group then fled the scene, reported KhaoSod.

Probably sons of politicians or high ranking policemen that think they are invincible.

Sons of politicians indeed they'll make great ones, they just need to lie and cover things up better. Come on man, they are just want to come together, can you feel their disease? (Good song by the way) ????

While these nutters are attacking each other, they are leaving the rest of the country alone.

Give them more knives and drop them in a fenced compound.

Allow nature to deal with them

The wild wild south-east Asia ...

the Bangkok community? Really? In Bang Phli? It didn't rock people in Samut Prakan, let alone BKK. The usual hyperbolic nonsense.
