In a swift response to a brutal attack by a gang of youths in Pathum Thani, local police are intensifying their efforts to apprehend the remaining suspects. The incident involved a group of eight to nine teenagers forcing a young man to stop his motorcycle and subsequently attacking him with a knife, causing severe injuries.

The police have reassured the public that they are not taking the case lightly and are committed to capturing all those involved. The attack, which occurred without any apparent reason, took place in front of a village in the Klong 7 area of Thanyaburi district, Pathum Thani.

The parents of the victims, aged 18 and 17, whose names have been withheld for their protection, reported the incident at Thanyaburi Police Station. However, more than two months had passed with only one arrest made.
