Yesterday, at 5pm, on Suksawat Road in Phra Samut Chedi, Samut Prakan, a group of first-year vocational college students suffered a knife attack while on their way home. Six teenagers assaulted the students, injuring two of them.

 

The local police, led by Lieutenant Sunthorn Pimphan of Phra Samut Chedi Police Station, were notified about the attack. Teams of officers, investigators, and rescuers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation arrived at the scene promptly.

 

One of the victims was a 15-year-old male student studying electrics at the vocational college. He had a severe knife wound on his back. The rescue team gave him initial first aid before taking him to the hospital.

 

The second injured student, a 16-year-old, had a head injury. Friends had already taken him to the hospital. The attackers escaped on their motorcycles and are still at large, despite police efforts to capture them.

 

Witnesses say that the student victims were on three motorcycles with five people in total. The attackers, who were also on three motorcycles, each carrying two people, chased and provoked them. The attackers were each carrying a sword or machete. When the students fell off their bikes, the attackers caught up with them and injured them. The remaining students managed to escape.

 

A friend of the injured students said that they were riding home from school when they noticed the teenagers chasing them with weapons. They all tried to escape in different directions, and only later did they realize one of their friends was injured.

 

The victims stated that they had no feuds or issues with any people or groups and were baffled by the attack. The authorities are now checking CCTV footage to identify and arrest the suspects involved in the attack.
