Two teenagers narrowly escaped a violent confrontation after falsely claiming they were junior police officers. Armed with knives and a ping-pong bomb, they threatened a resident before fleeing the scene on a motorcycle.

 

The quick response of local police prevented any further escalation. The incident occurred last night at around 11.30pm local time, according to Thanit Thapakdi, Deputy Investigating Officer at the Sattahip Police Station in Chon Buri.

 

The victim, 20 year old Jirayus reported the incident at the Sattahip Police Station. He explained that he was in his residence when the incident occurred. The attackers, known only as Ooy and Kaeo, apparently held a grudge against him over a misunderstanding.

Jirayus Christ! That's some knife. 

'The attackers, known only as Ooy and Kaeo, apparently held a grudge against him over a misunderstanding.'

 

 

 

ah yes, the good old misunderstanding 😅😅 Thailand should actually be named, The Hub of Misunderstanding. 

Priceless. 

And all because they thought the victim had bad-mouthed one of them. That good ol' Thai male fragile ego to the fore again. The only surprise is that only two showed up with weapons and not six or seven of them.

Well I never!

 

Most of Sattahip Police station are posing as police officers.  The knife and bomb wouldn't have fooled me.
