A 55 year old man was physically assaulted by a group of teenagers in Nakhon Ratchasima, sparking outrage from his daughter who demanded justice and called for witnesses.

 

The incident occurred on Wednesday, March 13 at approximately 3.30am, during the final night of the Thao Suranari victory celebration in the Korat region.

 

The man fell victim to a brutal attack by a group of teenagers while he was on his way home from the local festival in Korat. The victim, a construction worker originally from Phetchabun Province, had stopped his vehicle to pick up some items that had fallen onto the road, inadvertently cutting off a motorcyclist. This seemingly minor traffic mishap quickly escalated into a violent confrontation as the group of teenagers physically assaulted the man, inflicting multiple injuries.

 

The daughter of the injured man, who posted a clip of the incident on Facebook, expressed her fury and questioned why the attackers did not confront her father one on one. Her post, which called for identifying the assailants, received widespread attention online, with netizens sharing the video and expressing their opinions on the incident.

 

The local police, led by Police Colonel Nopadol Chuayboon, took swift action following the report. Representatives from the group of teenagers reached out on Thursday, indicating that some of them intended to surrender. However, it was noted that only a few individuals from the larger group were directly involved in the assault.

 

Pol. Col. Nopadol clarified that the altercation occurred after the festival had concluded and that the conflict arose from a verbal dispute that turned physical. Fortunately, the injuries sustained by the victim were not severe, and he was able to return home after receiving medical attention at Ratchasima Hospital, reported KhaoSod.

 

Authorities are verifying the backgrounds of the suspects, including whether they are minors or have a criminal history, before proceeding with detailed questioning and charging them with assault. Evidence from CCTV footage and other sources will be used to build the case.

Should be tarred and feathered.

I'm certainly not faulting the guy, because he's probably constrained to a scooter for economic reasons.  But this is one more data point that 4 wheels, seatbelts and 2 tons of steel are safer than a scooter. 

 

This guy may not have a choice of transport modes, but most of the folks tuning in here do.  Choose wisely.

When  I first met my wife to be we went to several festivals in the Korat area with her Thai friends. She wouldn't let me go to the toilet by myself. She explained to me when these local cretins are drunk, especially on Lao Khao they are feral.

The daughter asked why the attackers did take him on as one on one? 

 

Simple,  cause they are chicken shiits .  A bit like the <deleted> in Aussie.  As a group/gang they will attack but man to man they are as weak as piss. 

 

Basically they are scum.

Good catch.  If true, my bad. 

 

I figured the reason he stopped is to pick up something he dropped.  And I've never dropped anything from my air conditioned car.  But I have dropped stuff from my 2 wheelers, powered and push.   I can now see that he may have stopped to pick up something that someone else dropped.

I suspect that as he was a construction worker, he had a truck.

We will probably never know.

Vehicles here often get loaded way beyond their rated capacity. It's not at all uncommon for things to fall off.

Pathetic little cowards.

No I'm a Kiwi.  And the word that was deleted is a slang term for people from the Mediterranean region that now live in Australia. 

 

Clue:  sounds like dogs
