Police in Pathum Thani pledged to bring three teenagers to justice after they conspired to attack a couple with a knife at a shopping mall on December 31, last year.

 

The story came to public attention when the Facebook page Social Hunter 2022 posted images of the injured couple and the altercation on January 2. The victims later recounted the harrowing incident in an interview with Channel 3.

 

According to their testimony, three teenagers were present at the scene, but only two approached them. The attackers accused the male victim of being someone they were searching for.

 

Despite the couple’s denial, the teenagers insisted they were lying and demanded to check their mobile phones. The couple refused, escalating the situation.

 

The female victim revealed that one of the teenagers slapped her and her boyfriend, and she retaliated by slapping the attacker. Another teenager then brandished a knife and attempted to stab her in the stomach. Although she managed to evade a fatal blow, she sustained two cuts to her arms.

 

The attackers then turned on her boyfriend, who fled the scene to escape harm. The assailants chased him down and repeatedly kicked and punched him in the middle of the shopping mall.

 

 

Witnesses eventually intervened, causing the attackers and their third accomplice, who had been observing from a distance, to flee the scene. The victims received medical attention for their injuries and have since called for all three suspects to be held accountable.

 

Police later identified the two attackers as teenagers aged 15 and 19. Their names have not been disclosed due to child protection laws.

 

The mother of the 19 year old suspect spoke to Channel 3, admitting her son’s involvement but defending his character.

 

The mother described her son as a good boy who was negatively influenced by his 15 year old friend. She claimed to be worried about her son’s mental state and encouraged him to travel and rest before surrendering to the police. She also expressed a willingness to cover compensation for the victims.

 

As of now, none of the suspects have turned themselves in. The couple urged police to expedite the investigation and identified the third accomplice, who they believe directed the attack.

Gee, I wonder where he got the sense of entitlement that caused him to demand people identify themselves to him and show him their phones, before attacking them with a knife...  🤔

 

Seems like the Thai youth is trying to turn the place into London.  🙄

This whole mindset is so very wrong.....     The idea that the couple contributed to the attack because they didn't comply to the thugs demands, as if its the victims own fault - this highlights a bizarre underling mentality to try and forgive the unforgivable... its very strange.

God bless mums. More loyalty than a dozen Labradors albeit a bit blind sometimes.

A 19 year old being influenced by a 15 year old?

Sounds like the 19 year old is real loser.....

Do we really see a breakdown of Thai society?? And by the way...a 19 year old is NOT a child and should be punished as an adult, in this case jail for a few years!! Calling him a "good boy" just show that parents have failed completely!!

It might be a damn good idea for the Police to start going after gangs that seems to be a problem everywhere! Break them up using all methods available, not only sit there and watch while this is becoming a REALLY big problem.

Sounds like Thai Hiso...

Yeah...good boys always travel in packs and attack people with weapons. That's the definition of a good boy isn't it?

Travel and rest before turning yourself in???

Take a nice, beachfront vacation for a while before

strolling into the local police station.  Who dreams this

stuff up?

You see because this is Thai on Thai we won't hear the usual crap today.

 

 They must have done something or stared badly at them; they must have done something to cause it because Thai youths never behave like this, and I've been here 15 years without a problem, blah blah,

 

This behaviour, unfortunately, is how many of the Thai youth are evolving.

 

No rules or parameters nor parental care, the same as The West.

 

The mother of the 19-year-old, 'He's a good boy, he must have fallen under a bad influence or crowd'  a typical mother's response over here, blame the other kid, who was 15!!!

Yeah, HiSo indeed. Scum from the bottom of the barrel.

 

Travel and rest.

 

Does she mean ' Run and hide ' until you can get your excuses ready?
