A violent altercation at the Tamru Market in Samut Prakan left one man seriously injured on the morning of December 21, prompting a frantic escape by market-goers. The incident occurred at approximately 08:45 when a group of 6 individuals attacked a man, leaving him with severe injuries.

 

The victim, a man in his 30s, was found at the back of the market with multiple wounds. He had a deep head injury, a dislocated left shoulder, and a stab wound to his neck. Emergency responders from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation arrived at the scene and immediately transported him to Sirikit Hospital in Samut Prakan for treatment.

 

According to the victim, he had arrived at the market with his partner when he encountered a group of individuals he had previously had conflicts with at work. The group then launched an unprovoked attack, cornering him at the rear of the market. The assailants held him by the neck and struck his head with a rock, causing him to collapse before stabbing him with a sharp metal object.

 

The victim was able to call for help, and nearby residents intervened, trying to stop the attack and alerting the police. The assailants fled the scene before law enforcement arrived.

 

Local police from the Bang Pu Police Station are conducting an investigation and working to locate the suspects for further legal action. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the attackers' identities to come forward.
