A man who kicked a stranger in the head at a dance event in the northeastern province of Kalasin has turned himself into the police, claiming alcohol-induced actions and expressing remorse upon sobering up. The police are continuing their investigation following the viral video of the incident.

 

A Facebook user posted a video capturing the unexpected moment when a man, who was enjoying a lively performance in front of a Mor Lam (Isaan and Laos traditional music) stage, was suddenly kicked in the head by a stranger yesterday, November 19.

 

Social media was abuzz as the victim sought justice, urging the police to apprehend the assailant. The incident quickly garnered attention, fuelling demands for accountability.

 

 

Today, police in Kalasin reported that the assailant, identified as Amphol, voluntarily surrendered to the local police station to address the allegations against him. Initial drug tests conducted by officers revealed no traces of drugs in his system. To ensure a thorough investigation, the police plan to search Amphol’s home for any illegal items or firearms.

 

“I didn’t know the person I attacked. I was drunk, and now that I’m sober, I deeply regret my actions. I promise I won’t behave like this again.”

Amphol extended apologies to both the victim and the online community for his misconduct.

 

Negotiations between the victim and the assailant are currently underway. However, the legal proceedings hinge on the medical certificate’s outcome, which will guide the case’s next steps, reported KhaoSod.

That should be a prison sentence. It won't.
