A 35-year-old woman in Pathum Thani went into a violent frenzy, attacking her 11-year-old daughter with a knife, leaving her injured. She then locked herself in a room with her 7-year-old son at a housing project in Klong Luang, Pathum Thani.

 

Police successfully subdued her after a tense negotiation. The incident is believed to have stemmed from an argument with a food delivery rider.

 

At 6:20 p.m. on September 29, officers from Klong Luang Police Station responded to a report of child abuse at the housing project in Kilometer 44, Klong Nueng Subdistrict.

 

Upon arrival, police and rescue personnel found the woman locked inside a first-floor apartment with her son. She was incoherent and acting erratically, claiming someone was trying to harm her. Her 11-year-old daughter, who had been injured with a knife to her left ankle, had already been taken to Thammasat University Hospital.

Neighbors reported that the mother had previously worked as a tattoo artist. Earlier in the evening, a food delivery rider arrived, and an argument broke out. After the rider left, the woman's behavior escalated, leading to her attacking her daughter.

 

The girl cried out for help, shouting, "Stop, it hurts!" Neighbors intervened and called for assistance after discovering the injured child.

She now faces charges of assault and violating the Domestic Violence Act. Authorities are coordinating with social services to provide temporary care for the children during the investigation.
