[webfact]

 

A dispute in a Samut Prakan Cannabis shop escalated into violence when a group of teenagers returned armed with a gun and a knife, attacking a young man and his friend.

 

The shop owner, Ms. Amittara, relayed the incident to her boyfriend, Mr. Warawut, who arrived to assess the situation. Mr. Warawut and his associates pursued the attackers into the local village, reported Thai Rath.

 

While at work, Mr. Warawut received a distress call from his girlfriend about the attack. Upon reaching the shop, he confronted one of the teenage assailants, Mr. Paang, and learned that the attackers were local youths.

 

A confrontation ensued between Mr. Warawut's group and the teenagers at a nearby public park. Infuriated, Mr. Warawut and his associates used wooden sticks and helmets to retaliate, leaving three teenagers injured. The group managed to confiscate the gun and later handed it over to the police.

 

An eyewitness, Ms. Nathnaree Thongnaprat, age 20, recounted seeing the violent brawl from her home, where she was playing a game. According to her, three men were severely injured, with one unconscious. She overheard the attackers claiming they were initially provoked and threatened with weapons.

 

Local police officer, Mr. Nopadon Chansareuan, stated that the confrontation started from a heated verbal exchange between the two parties. One party allegedly threatened the other with a gun inside the cannabis shop. The police are gathering evidence and questioning surrounding witnesses to determine charges for those involved.

"when a group of teenagers returned armed with a gun and a knife,"

 

In this culture here, 'returning armed' has become more like a reflex embedded in the DNA
