Police are in hot pursuit of a reckless jet-ski rider responsible for a shocking hit-and-run incident at Patong Beach that left an Israeli tourist battered and bruised. The drama unfolded around 6.21pm yesterday, October 6, when the unidentified foreigner, piloting a white-and-blue jet-ski, smashed into swimmer Nimrod Filip Solomon before vanishing into the sunset.

 

Reports say the jet-ski collided with Solomon’s head as he enjoyed a swim in the turquoise waters, leaving him nursing painful head injuries. To add insult to injury, the daredevil operator didn’t even slow down, making a hasty escape from the scene.

 

Emergency teams from the Phuket Kusoldharm Foundation wasted no time, swooping in to whisk the injured holidaymaker from the sands in front of Soi Kebsup and Thaweewong Road straight to Patong Hospital.

Solomon, still reeling from the ordeal, recounted how the jet-ski renegade struck him without a shred of remorse.

 

“The jet-ski operator sped off without offering any assistance.”

 

Patong police stated they would leave no stone unturned in their quest to track down the audacious rider and deliver justice.

Maybe the jet-ski operator did not realise that he had hit anything?

Incoming !!

The response is a quite surprising... 

 

Would we usually not see the honest jet-ski operators claiming compensation from the Israeli for damaging the Jet-ski ???.....   

 

 

 

 

_{(yes, I know it was the Israeli who was struck by the jet ski ridden by an operator - and everyone working on the beach will of course already know who was riding the jet-ski, but are keeping quiet for fear of repercussions - jet-ski mafia as they are known).}

OR he was a Hezbala rebel from Gazaon holidays  and he was getting revenge on the Israilie for bombing his apartment.

So will the IDF step in now and carpet bomb Patong beach district as proportionate retaliation?

I hope they get a wave of information from the public.

Probably hired from a local beach outlet, who he left his ID with. Shouldn't be hard to track him down. 

These dangerous toys must be banned.

You bounce up and down the waves a lot on these things. Hitting a head wouldn't feel much different i presume.

Yes, you could be right. But, don't they have special marked swimming zones, where idiots like this can't enter?
