Police are searching for a foreign man and his Thai wife after two Chinese women accused the couple of physically assaulting them outside a shopping mall in Phuket.

 

The Chinese woman named Wu and her daughter named Jang filed a complaint at Wichit Police Station in Phuket on Tuesday, August 20, after an altercation with the foreign man and his Thai wife at the shopping mall. They also provided the police with a video showing part of the argument as evidence.

 

In the video, Wu and Jang were seen attempting to stop the couple from leaving the mall. The Chinese nationals were heard complaining to the couple in both English and Chinese. The couple continued to walk out of the mall, accusing the Chinese women of tearing the man’s shirt while they were pulling it.

 

ThaiRath reported that Wu accidentally bumped into the foreign man while walking in the mall with her daughter and apologised to him. However, the foreign man allegedly responded with vulgar language, prompting Wu and Jang to become angry and try to stop the couple to have the matter addressed by police.

 

During questioning by the police, Jang stated that she pulled the foreign man’s shirt, causing him to kick her in the leg, resulting in a wound and bruise. Her mother, Wu, came to her aid, but the Thai woman allegedly pushed her to the ground.

 

Jang reported that the couple left the mall in a taxi, which she was able to identify by its registration plate, ณข 3373. She then asked her Thai husband to take her to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a medical examination before reporting the incident to the police.

 

Jang’s Thai husband admitted that both parties physically assaulted each other during the incident. He noted that the foreign man should not have reacted rudely, as his mother-in-law already apologised.

 

Police are now searching for the foreign-Thai couple to summon them for questioning. ThaiRath also urged the couple to come forward and share their side of the story.

Many Thai netizens commented under the video shared by the Facebook page โหดจัง จังหวัดภูเก็ต (which means “So brutal, Phuket province”), stating that they have often been bumped into by Chinese nationals, who usually walk in groups and block the way for others.

Sadly another one of our own (Brit) making us all look like overweight tattooed racists in public.

 

Deport and blacklist the lot of them.

 

Perhaps he is a member of this forum known for always getting into conflicts?

"...one of own (Brit) ... Deport and blacklist the lot of them".

That would also get you deported or are you one of the special Britons who should be excluded from your own proposed deportation?!

He's not British.  That's just something he made up for his latest troll persona...

 

A lot of his posts are nonsensical and contradictory, as he just says whatever he can to aggravate people.

Absolutely mad.  Bump into someone, they swear at you as a result, so you attack them try to detain them.

 

They even go as far as putting their hands on them and tearing their clothes, over words, and still think they're in the right and the police will help them.

 

🙄

Sum Ting Wong vs. Jonny English.

Who?  You?  So go watch it.  It happens exactly as I said.  🙄

No, it doesn't. The video clearly shows the Chinese women were aggressive. 

 

I watched it. You didn't.  Ignorant commentary isn't helpful.

The kids are at it again......

Is this for me?  That's what I was saying.  The Chinese people bumped into the Brit, then attacked him when he swore at them.

Crikey, Psycho foreigners in Phuket. 

 

Glad I live in safe Pattaya 

 

I thought the guy was an Aussie at first with that beer gut. 

Maybe he's one of those half Pom, half Aussie guys, plenty of them about. 

 

 

I've sent groups of them flying like bowling pins in the airport and exiting the MTR in Hong Kong when they crowd the doors trying to get on before people can exit.

Pretty much sums it up. Feel sorry for the western guy (who hasn't got a British accent), that Chinese lady is a crazy loon. Probably rhe F word was used and as usual it's taken out of context of its intended use.

Four idiots behaving like children

Claaaaazy

Crazy Chinese woman. At one early point she says give me money. Then says wait for police. I would have walked away too and responded similarly if she tore my shirt.

Four children acting as grownups!!! Shame they have no role model to follow!

Chinese female called them Shabby in Chinese which means "F@#king C&$T" Blacklist the 2 Chinese females

Such a strange story, such a petty incident, sometimes people just don't know how to let things go. China is so crowded that the people have to jostle for space, so bumping into people is just not considered a big deal there. Some Westerners are overly entitled, and can get very offended when someone invades their space, it's just so weak and thin-skinned of them.
